The Poo-uli was a unique and highly endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, tragically declared extinct. It was characterized by its somber brownish plumage, a distinctive black facial mask, and an unusual foraging strategy.
Where to spot
Historically endemic to the wet, high-elevation montane forests on the eastern slopes of Maui, Hawaii, primarily within the Hanawi Natural Area Reserve.
How to spot
Observation is no longer possible. Historical records indicate its drab plumage made it difficult to spot amidst dense foliage. Its unique foraging behavior for snails and insects in bark crevices was a key characteristic.
When to spot
Last observed in the wild in 2004, the Poo-uli is now considered extinct and is no longer observable.
