Orange-cheeked Waxbills recorded per party hr on the
Honolulu Christmas Count, 1944-2007 (see Count
Page). The bi-modal distribution primarily
reflects population status at Diamond Head in
1965-1989 and windward O'ahu in 1986-2007, where
the population declined through the 2000s. See also Moulton and Scioli (1986). Graphs of Christmas Count data
developed as part of The Birds of the Hawaiian Islands: Occurrence, History, Distribution, and
Status by Robert L. Pyle and Peter Pyle http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/birds/rlp-monograph/2009/
