The elepaio are inquisitive, and can easily be coaxed to an observer. They are the guardian spirit of canoe makers who recognized that the frequent use of a particular koa tree by an elepaio was an indication the tree was likely to harbor a large insect population, and may therefore be undesirable for use as a canoe.
After growing up in Alaska and living in Volcano Village on the island of Hawaii, Marian Berger acquired the love and need to live in the forest. She is known for her detailed watercolor bird paintings, which are a huge gift to Hawaii, as well as a legacy in Volcano and throughout the state.
