Kākāwahie
The kākāwahie or Molokai creeper, (''Paroreomyza flammea'') was a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper. It is extinct, but was found on the Hawaiian island of Molokai in Hawaii. ==Description==
The kākāwahie was long. This bird had the appearance of a ball of flame, especially males, which were scarlet red all around. The female had more of a brownish tinge to its belly. Its call was a chip like someone was cutting wood in the distance. They were discovered in the late 19th century when Scott Barchard Wilson, a British ornithologist was lost in the fog. Wilson had shot down a female and two bright males. He collected several specimens and skins of other species of Molokai birds and then went back to England. They were fast flitting birds but nevertheless, they were still endangered. It is depicted in several paintings from the early 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
