Abstract
We studied the foraging behavior of the Japanese White-eye in three species of mangroves, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Kandelia candel and Rhiziphora mucronata, in July-August and October at sub-tropical Iriomote Island, southern Japan. During the study period the Japanese White-eye appeared to utilize only one species as a nectar source; B. gymnorrhiza, which has flower characteristics specialized for pollination by birds.
