The Puaiohi, or Small Kauai Thrush, is a critically endangered endemic Hawaiian thrush, recognized by its dark olive-brown plumage, pale throat, and prominent white eye-ring. It is a highly localized forest bird.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted area in the Alakai Wilderness Preserve on Kauai, Hawaii, inhabiting dense, wet montane forests and steep, inaccessible ravines.
How to spot
Extremely challenging to observe due to extreme rarity and remote, difficult terrain. Look for its dark olive-brown body and white eye-ring. Listening for its distinctive vocalizations in its specific habitat is critical.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning. Observable year-round, but requires specialized permits and difficult hikes to access its remote habitat.
