Description

The Hawaiʻi ʻelepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis), also Hawaiian ʻelepaio, is a monarch flycatcher found on the Big Island of Hawaii. Until 2010, all three ʻelepaio species, the Kauaʻi ʻelepaio (C. sclateri), the Oʻahu ʻelepaio (C. ibidis) and this species were considered conspecific.

Feeding Habits
Hawaii Elepaio primarily eats arthropods, insects, and spiders, using adept foraging techniques to pick prey from foliage. This bird uniquely adapts to a variety of habitats, showing a strong dietary flexibility and preference for certain invertebrates.
Habitat
Hawaii Elepaio mainly inhabits wet to mesic forests at higher elevations and thrives in dense 'Ohi‘a-Koa (Metrosideros polymorpha–Acacia koa) canopies. It exhibits adaptability by also occupying mesic forests, second-growth Koa plantations, and drier woodlands with varying population densities across these regions. Hawaii Elepaio shows a presence in disturbed forests affected by human activities and the adaptability to adjust nesting heights in response to predators. They are sparser in drier habitats, but can also be found in Mamani–Naio (Sophora chrysophylla–Myoporum sandwicense) woodlands at specific high-elevation ranges.
