The Hawaiian coot was federally listed in October 1970 as an endangered species [7] and is considered both endemic and endangered by the state of Hawaiʻi. [8] The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's 5-year review, conducted in 2010, found that none of the four criteria established for delisting or downlisting of the species had been meet. [9]

Nest sites are usually positioned on the ground underneath large ...

The kākā’s closest living relative is the kea; the kea and kākā became separate species 1.72 million years ago due to ecological divergence. [14] This likely occurred due to changes in the climate during the Pleistocene that drove the kākā to specialise in more forested environments and the kea to specialise in alpine and other habitats ...
This list of bird species introduced to the Hawaiian Islands includes only those species known to have established self-sustaining breeding populations as a direct or indirect result of human intervention. A complete list of all non-native species ever imported to the islands, including those that never became established, would be much longer.
The only evidence of snow in the area, other than the video and pictures taken by residents, may be a slight breeze or an increased risk of showers. Mauna Kea stands at a height of 13,803 feet ...
