Die Buchfinken singen gerade überall im Wald, allerdings singen nur die Männchen.

We are more or less ‘housebound’ thanks to the Corona virus … so, we took a walk through the city.
It is now definitely spring because there are starlings singing from almost every tree.:
I usually don’t look at the Mallards because they are typical feral ducks, many of which don’t resemble wild ducks at all.:
Another sign for/of spring are singing Chaffinches, like with the starlings, almost every tree has its own singing Chaffinch right now, however, they are very difficult to photograph because they usually fly away as soon as they spot the camera.:
This is a Goldfinch, it has one of the most beautiful songs of all European birds.:
This little cutie was hopping about as close as only one meter away from us, so I could make at least two quite good pictures.:

I thought it would be a good idea to create a list (I loce to do lists) of all known Hawaiian drepanidine finches, and to assign vernacular names to all of them, but Hawaiian ones!
I have only translated ‘my’ names but not those that are already in use.

Aloha!
Darf ich vorstellen: ein Pfeilschnabel (Viridonia sagittirostris Rothschild) auch bekannt als Einsiedlerkleidervogel oder Großer Amakihi; ein Fink, ja, tatsächlich ein Fink, von der größten der Hawai’i-Inseln, Hawai’i selbst, und natürlich, wie es sich für einen ‘ordentlichen’ hawaiianischen Vogel gehört, absolut und komplett ausgestorben.
Mahalo nui loa, a hui hou kakou!
