General Info
Species Status
In the late 1800s, it was considered the most common bird on Kauaʻi, occurring throughout all areas of the island, but land clearing and avian malaria brought on by introduced mosquitoes decimated the birds. Introduced animals such as feral pigs (which create pools for their wallows, in which mosquitoes can breed) and rats (which feed on eggs and unfledged birds) also contributed to the bird's demise. Competition from introduced bird species may also have led to further declines. The kāmaʻo is classified as extinct. The last probable sighting occurred in 1989 in the Alakaʻi Wilderness Preserve, its last stronghold.
