Location: Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuges 
Legend : Close-up of Laysan finch. This bird is 
abundant on Laysan but is found no where else in the 
world. Consequently it has attracted world-wide inter- 
egt-among ornithologists. A similar finch considered to 
be by some a spGéteg and the other a subspecies, is found 
on Nihoa. These birds are exceedingly tame. On Laysan 
they were observed eating seeds, green vegetation and 
seabird eggs, which they puncture with their bills.
