Observation details

(7.34043, 151.62690) 640 ft elevation, just below cliff band. Male and female seen foraging together. Very vocal and responsive to people imitating whistling. Local Chuukese name Uwaw (seems to refer to both monarch and white-eye) is onomatopoeia for the monarch’s distinctive whistle between pairs. Multiple heard along hike at various points around this elevation and higher, low estimate.
