Japanese White-eye
More bird pictures ... This feathered friend is called a Japanese white-eye. They are very common and widespread on all main islands, in both dry and wet habitats, from sea level to tree line. Origanally introduced from Japan to O'ahu in 1929 and to Hawai'i in 1937; it is also known by its Japanese name, Mejiro.Special thanks to my Dad for looking up this information for me.
Thanks to Dana's dad for the investigative work and I decided to add a pic to Dana's beautiful photo as a perspective image of this bird.

Thanks for posting for me - since I could not post last night - I changed the date on the post to keep the postings in sequence =)
Thanks to your dad for his great investigative work in looking up the birds hehe =D
Have a sunshiney day!!!
A rather cute little critter.
Any particular reason why they were introduced onto the islands.
Great shot, great for nature competition (if there's one going on around).
Bird photos are not easy to shoot. Good job!!
such a cool capture!
huh funny, I guess that is a Mejiro - I will show you another pic of that later ;)
You're doing great work guys! All this stuff is so interesting and the shots are beautiful! Learning everyday around the world is so great! ;-) Have a good day!
Great perspective shot! I love it:)
good thing you use the foot for sense of scale. Lovely creature! so cute :)
Such a teeny-tiny bird. If I were a birdwatcher I'd consider it great good fortune to see the little thing in the tree. Thanks for these photos and the info.
Good shot! Must be quite used to you as it's letting you very close!
what a shot nicolas! how close were you? and thanks for posting it dana!
what a little sweetheart!
cute bird!!
have a nice day!
I like the big picture, but the small one is just great... did you tape the little guy there to sit still? It's amazing how small they are, wonderful little birds!!!
LOL - we did not torture the poor guy to sit there in one place - I think he may have fallen off the nest - sadly - but he was still moving about so we just moved with him and took the shot really fast.
su cute!!!
