The Palila Counts- By Garry Dean

Every year, for a week in late January or early February a group of people from a variety of backgrounds  from the USGS, University of Hawaii, Mauna Kea Restoration Project, Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, Mauna Kea Watershed, Hakalau, Three Mountain Alliance, HVNP plus others get together to help census the Palila (Loxioides bailleui).  This year, I was fortunate to be asked to help in the surveys.
