Honeycreepers and Volcanoes on the Big Island

Hannah and Erik Go Birding · Oct 15, 2026 · 58m

Hawaii has a lot to offer, including endemic honeycreepers! We visited the Big Island for a SCUBA and birding trip with an impending hurricane in the forecast. Erik got to check off a bucket list item of seeing lava, we explored some native habitats, and enjoyed some amazing food.
