'Apapanes recorded per party hr on the Honolulu Christmas Count (see Count Page)

in 1944-2007, indicating a slight but significant decline (as also recorded on the

Waipi'o and Volcano Christmas Counts). The peak of 489 recorded on the Honolulu

count (cf. E 17:55, 56) may have reflected an abundance of flowering ohia-lehua

trees within the circle that year. See also Williams (1987) and Ralph (1990).
