Haleakala National Park Forest Bird Inventory Dataset

Description

Haleakala National Park (HALE) is host to 9 species of honeycreeper, five of which are endangered. The Maui Parrotbill and Akohekohe were once found in low elevation habitats on east Maui, but are now restricted to mesic and wet forests above 1,100 m. The Maui akepa prefers mature ohia and ohia-koa above 1,500 m. The last visual detection of the Maui akepa was at 1,872 m in Kipahulu Valley to the east of Kaapahu in 1995. However, auditory detections require visual confirmation because Maui Akepa songs can be confused with songs of Maui Parrotbills. The Maui Nukupuu was in Hanwi Natural Area Reserve at 1,890 m on the northern slope of Haeakala in 1995. Further survey efforts have yielded no additional detections. The Poouli was discovered in 1973 and was confined to a single location in wet ohia forest above 1,500 m in Haleakala. As of 2005, only two individuals are known to exist, however, the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project reports that the last Poouli has not been sighted within the last year.
