Ula-ai-hawane

Ciridops anna

The ʻula-ʻai-hāwane is an extinct species of small Hawaiian honeycreeper. The term ʻula-ʻai-hāwane is a Hawaiian phrase translating to "red [bird] that eats hāwane". It was only ever reported from the forested mountains of the Kohala, Hilo and Kona districts on the island of Hawaiʻi. Fossil remains reveal that it also existed at one time on other Hawaiian islands. The species is named after Anna Dole, wife of Sanford B. Dole.
