Golden White-eye

The Golden White-eye is a species of bird in the white-eye family Zosteropidae. It is the only species within the genus Cleptornis. The Golden White-eye was once considered to be a honeyeater in the family Meliphagidae and although it is now known to be a white-eye, its position within that family is still uncertain. The species is restricted to the islands of Saipan and Aguijan in the Northern Mariana Islands, where it is sympatric and competes with the related Bridled White-eye. The Golden White-eye has golden plumage and a pale eye-ring. It feeds on insects, fruit, and nectar and forages in pairs or small family groups. The bird is monogamous and lays two eggs in a small cup nest.

The Golden White-eye is classified as Critically Endangered (CR), facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

The Golden White-eye (Cleptornis marchei), a little-known endemic of the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific, nests throughout the year in a variety of forested and semi-open habitats. Data from 11 nests indicate the typical clutch size is two. Incubation at three nests lasted 14 d and the altricial young fledge 10-14 d after hatching. The parents seem to share equally in brooding and rearing tasks during daylight. = USDA Sod Conservatzon Service P.O. More
