Have you ever noticed those flocks of finches with bright red eye-masks hanging out in grassy fields? This week, University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo professor Patrick Hart introduces you to the tiny waxbill...common but very eye-catching. This Manu Minute was made with field recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
