Projects are in action! Funded song meters have b Projects are in action! Funded song meters have been placed out in the forest by Haleakalā National Park staff. The goal of these song meters is to record and track Maui’s endangered forest birds through song to gain a better understanding of the population sizes. With estimates for the total population of the Kiwikiu, the rarest native songbird on Maui, ranging from under 300 individuals to less than 150, it is vital to understand how imminent the threat of extinction to this species is. By using these recording units to better understand the population and location of these species, efforts to support these species may be more successful.
