Detalles de la observación
*Very rare on Oahu, though this species seems to persist at this location. Heard only, singing from the valley to the west; there may have been multiple birds involved but I'm conservatively listing it as one. Assuming this was all from the same individual, it first sang twice, seemingly at a further (and more typical) distance from down in the valley. Then it sang a third time, sounding like it was very close. This was probably the closest distance at which I've heard potential hwamei sing from this spot, and the audio recording I obtained is the most convincing I've produced so far. The song given is very similar to that of the leiothrix but far more emphatic and variable––to my ear, it's not as redundant as the typical rambling of a leithorix. I suppose my main concern would actually be ruling out shama mimicry. In the audio recording I've attached here, the probable hwamei can be heard for the first two seconds before it is cut off by the gurgled whistling of a shama. I think it can be heard again at the 0:08 second mark, and then even more prominently around the 0:10 second mark. I'm very open to comments on this ID. My email is on my eBird profile.
