Overview

The Oʻahu ʻelepaio (Chasiempis ibidis) is a monarch flycatcher endemic to the Hawaiian Island of Oʻahu. It is one of the three distinct, closely related species of ʻelepaio native to the Hawaiian archipelago, including the Hawaiʻi ʻelepaio and the Kauʻi ʻelepaio. They are found in high elevations on the slopes of Oʻahu and primarily consume insects. They are currently listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, and ongoing work is being done to eliminate invasive predators and disease.
