		It was the first week of February, in the Puu Ulaula cabin, on the slopes of Mauna Loa on the Big Island.

	Forest birds of the Hawaiian Islands
		Several million years ago, when Kaua`i was the youngest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, and Pele made her home in the caldera atop Mount Waialeale, a small flock of finches made landfall somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands, exhausted from their trans-Pacific journey.
		At the same time, as the older islands submerged into the sea and new islands were formed, the birds dispersed and evolved into yet additional isolated and specialized forms.
		Sheltered on the islands for millions of years, the birds lost their ability to deal with mammalian predators and disease.
