Hawaiian seabird called `Ua`u

**We need your help!**

Our native seabirds are fledging (flying to the ocean). They can become disoriented and end up on the ground unable to fly. If you find a grounded seabird anywhere on the island, please call 1-877-428-6911 (Haleakala National Park Dispatch) and a wildlife technician will retrieve it for rehabilitation.

 

The Hawaiian Petrel (`Ua`u) is an endangered species. Its largest known nesting colony is located at the top of Mt. Haleakala. For more information on the Hawaiian Petrel, click here.

 
Nene2

**Protect our state bird!**

Nene, Hawaiian Geese, are nesting in the park. They are ground nesters and will aggressively defend their nests. Please support their health and safety in the following ways: Do not approach them, do not feed them, and stay on trail. If a nene is acting aggressively toward you, simply walk away.
