EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a preserved iiwi (Vestiaria coccinea), a striking native Hawaiian bird, photographed by Cary S. Wolinsky during Captain James Cook's third voyage (1776-1780). The iiwi, also known as the Hawaiian honeycreeper, is a passerine bird belonging to the Fringillidae family, with black plumage and vibrant red feathers on its crown and wings. Captured in this historic moment, the iiwi is displayed in a glass-topped jar, a common method of preserving specimens during the era of exploration and discovery. The sauropsid, or reptile-descended, avian species was likely collected as part of Cook's extensive natural history endeavors during his voyages. Cook's expeditions, which included the HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery, brought significant advancements to the understanding of the natural world. Cook and his crew explored various regions, including the Pacific Ocean, and documented numerous new species, including the iiwi. This preserved iiwi specimen, with its striking colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Hawaiian Islands that Cook and Wolinsky encountered over two centuries ago. The image serves as a testament to the importance of exploration and the preservation of natural history, inspiring curiosity and appreciation for the natural world.
