Spotted
The Oahu Alauahio, also known as Oahu Creeper, is a critically endangered (and possibly extinct) Hawaiian honeycreeper. It was a small, active bird with dull olive-green plumage, known for its foraging on tree trunks and branches.
Where to spot
Historically endemic to the native montane forests of Oahu, Hawaii, particularly in the Koʻolau and Waiʻanae mountain ranges.
How to spot
Observation is no longer possible. Historically, it would have been identified by its small size, olive-green plumage, and active creeping movements on tree bark, often in mixed-species flocks.
When to spot
Last confirmed sighting in the mid-1980s. Despite extensive searches, it has not been definitively seen since and is likely extinct, thus no longer observable.

Like other creeper honeycreepers, the Oahu Alauahio had specialized foraging behaviors, using its short bill to glean insects and spiders from bark crevices.
