Thanks!
I'll get back to you on that.  I'm not sure which one that might be.  I'll take a gander.

jackelope:
The bird i think you're talking about is a "nene"...it's the hawaiian state bird. assuming its the one they warn you about all over at volcano national park. am i on the right track?

boneaddict:
A nene is similiar to a duck, or more like a goose I believe.  I think they are mostly in the water and on the lava flows, not trees I don't think.  Other than that, I think you tumped me.  I'm not sure of any pheasants in Hawaii unless somebody introduced them???? :dunno:

sisu:
No, I know what a nene looks like for sure. Been so close to those darn things that I was afraid the NPS would give us a fine. No, these birds can fly real well and cluck on the take off similar to a pheasant except they are all black, they roost and hang out in coveys.

I'll do some digging on the Internet and send a couple of emails out to my Flip friends and my son. Maybe someone will turn up a name. BTW you have never been hunting until you've gone in the trees looking for pigs with flip-flop Flips. Those guys got some major balls when pig hunting but I might add they can climb a tree faster in flip flops than I can in tennies.

The Mikado fits your description fairly well.  They are actually blue not black, but look black unless in bright sunlight.They are from Taiwan, but could easily live in Hawaii if planted there.  I think I have a picture of one on my website, but here is a link to a picture if it works.  They are very similiar to our pheasants, but they live in trees in the mountains from 5-10 thousand feet.
