The bird that went unnoticed

High on the slopes of Haleakala above Hana, Maui, lives a bird that until recently was unknown to man. The small brown and gray bird with a black mask was discovered in 1973 by a group of University of Hawai'i students who were studying birds in the Hanawi rainforest. Because of its remote location it is probable that the bird was unknown to ancient Hawaiians. There is no mention of it in Hawaiian chants nor is there evidence it was used in Hawaiian featherwork. The name "po'ouli" was given to the bird by the late Mary Pukui. Literally Po'ouli means "black head," or, more poetically, "dark fore- head." The po'ouli is one of Hawaii's most endan- gered species. Since the time of its discovery its population has plummeted rapidly largely as a result of introduced pigs which are destroying the understory, or low-growth vegetation, of the po'ouli's critical habitat. Today there are only an estimated 50 birds left. The accompanying picture was painted from an actual field sketch of the first po'ouli nest ever found. The scene is of a male bird feeding a female at their nest which was built in the upper canopy of a native 'ohi'a tree. The po'ouli's diet consists largely of worms, insects and mollusks which the bird finds by tearing away pieces of moss and bark. Working for wildlife

Kunane and Ipo Nihipali dedicate much of their energy towards educating people about Hawaii's natural heritage. They are actively involved in a number of organizations addressing Native Hawaiian con- cerns. The couple founded the 'Uhane Noa Foundation with the goal of making Hawaiian youth more aware of their cultural roots and instilling within them a sense of self respect and respect for their environment. By spending time with Hawaii's children dur- ing hands-on learning projects the NihipaUs not only teach Hawaiian culture but Hawaiian con- cepts as well. Ipo Nihipali is well known for her attractive paintings depicting native flora and fauna.
