One of the 44 Hawaiian endemics, the altitudinally migratory \u02bbi\u02bbiwi resembles a hummingbird, with a similar appetite for nectar. It can be seen at higher altitudes, such as on Mauna Kea (about an hour and a half away from the Resort), and has occasionally been spotted at higher elevations on Hualalai itself, just 20 miles from the property. Although these honeycreepers were once plentiful on most Hawaiian islands, they\u2019re currently endangered on Oahu\u00a0and\u00a0Molokai\u00a0and have been extinct on Lanai since 1929.<\/p>\n<p>Twitchers who want to birdwatch on the grounds of Four Seasons Hualalai can visit its Waiakauhi Pond, a convalescent habitat for waterfowl and migratory shorebirds, such as the slender and elegant Hawaiian Stilts (<em>Himantopus mexicanus knudseni<\/em>). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service worked together with the Resort to develop the habitat and help preserve this endemic and endangered subspecies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div

Because Florida\u2019s scrub oak habitat has rapidly dwindled in the past few decades, and therefore the number of birds has, the jay has been designated a threatened species.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to see this bold and feisty bird at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/orlando\/\">Four Seasons Resort Orlando at <em>Walt Disney World\u00ae<\/em> Resort<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/orlando\/golf\/\">Tranquilo Golf Club<\/a>, both of which are home to dozens of replanted live oak trees, the preferred habitat of the Scrub Jay \u2013 not to mention shrubs, ground cover, bushes and palms that it and other birds can use for food and shelter. For birders who want a more guaranteed sighting, the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail is a mere 30 miles (48 kilometres) away.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_32\" class=\"body-block body-cta large-body-media body-block-cta-small-body\">\n<div class=\"body-cta-container\">\n<div class=\"cta-text-container\">\n<h3>Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World\u00ae Resort<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-container\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/reservations.fourseasons.com\/?hotelCode=ORL354\" data-owscode=\"ORL354\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-small fs-booking-widget\">Check Rates &#038; Availability <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-plp-link visible-xs\">\n        \t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/orlando\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Visit Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World\u00ae Resort\" class=\"cta-text-link\">See all you can experience at <nobr>Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World\u00ae Resort<\/nobr><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_33\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<h2>Serengeti: African Grey Hornbill (<em>Lophoceros nasutus<\/em>)<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"body_block_34\" class=\"body-block section-audio-block\">\n<div class=\"lc-module-inner\">\n<div class=\"audio-block-wrapper lc-module-wrapper fade-bottom\">\n<div class=\"audio-block-audio-container\">\n                    <audio controlsList=\"nodownload\" class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-115532-5\" loop=\"1\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/African-Hornbill-79942_44k.mp3?_=5\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/African-Hornbill-79942_44k.mp3\">https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/African-Hornbill-79942_44k.mp3<\/a><\/audio>                <\/div>\n<p class=\"image-block-credit image-credit\" style=\"text-align: center;font-style: italic\">\n                    Audio courtesy Linda R.

Right on the grounds, it\u2019s possible to come face to face with mischievous African Grey Hornbills, which are sometimes spotted amid the fig trees along the Lodge\u2019s boardwalks.<\/p>\n<p>With its heavy-looking, downward-curving bill, the bird has an oddly primitive appearance, but it moves with the agility of a lion, both in the air and on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile flying, they dip in mid-flight, which is quite distinctive, and as the most pronounced of all the hornbills in this region, their piercing, whistle-like call is also quite distinctive,\u201d says the Lodge\u2019s Discovery Centre Manager, Oli Drieke.<\/p>\n<p>Guests who wish to see more of these creatures should cover more of their habitat by embarking on the game drives and walking safaris offered at the Lodge.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_36\" class=\"body-block body-cta large-body-media body-block-cta-small-body\">\n<div class=\"body-cta-container\">\n<div
