How to spot
Look for a glossy black starling in coastal vegetation, often near human settlements or coconut trees. Its extreme localization is a primary identification point.

The Atoll Starling's survival is particularly vulnerable to habitat changes on its small island homes, including the impacts of rising sea levels and introduced predators.
