Day 12 of Avian August 2025, Birds of Hawaii, hosted by @cookiedoves: ʻIo or Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius)
The 'io is Hawaii’s only native hawk, and found nowhere else in the world. Once sacred to Hawaiian royalty, it’s still a living symbol of the islands’ wild spirit. *Tree featured is the native Hawaiian species, Olopua or Hawai'i Olive (Notelaea sandwicensis)
