Description
Enjoy this framed and signed Marian Berger print of akohekohe. It's print number 82 out of 400 existing prints.
The akohekohe has a distinctive, forward-sweeping white crest that gives the bird its English name, Crested Honeycreeper. The striking crest helps pollinate native plants as the bird moves from flower to flower while feeding. Historically, the akohekohe's unusual appearance also made it desirable to collectors.
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.
