You can learn about how the Hawaiian canoe makers of the past were guided by the ‘elepaios, or where you can find the palila nowadays and what they eat.

Migratory birds really amaze me. It's really remarkable how they travel together. A lot of us won't look at birds as highly intelligent animals but I think they have the same gift of communication pretty much like dolphins. They know where they are supposed to stay at a particular period. They know where it's safe for them to get food. They are really not dumb as other people think. It breaks my heart that no matter what they do, they are still easy targets to hunters.
