I purchases a tour, "MOUNTAIN RAINFOREST ADVENTURE", a four mile hike, on poor, steep, and muddy trails. The brochure states: "The best trails on Oahu to observe the rare and colorful Hawaiian Honey-creepers, including the crimson Apapane and the yellow-green Amakihi." I didn't see a single bird in the Rain Forest, but the hike just about killed this old man.

I did see a few Red Jungle-fowl, along the road into the rain forest. They are descendants, of the domestic stock, brought by the ancient Polynesian people. This is a hen.
