    Monday
    Do the Translocation Scurry (8 photos)
    It was a silent arrival for Sheila Conant, Chris Farmer, Ryan Hagerty, Robby Kohley, Peter Luscomb, Sheldon Plentovich, Michelle Wilcox and Thierry Work, a talented mix of researchers, biologists, scientists and a videographer from the U.S....
    Fish and Wildlife Service, the American Bird Conservatory, U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Hawai`i as they landed on shore with 26 critically endangered passerines from a bobbing Zodiac. Earlier in the week the ship the Searcher had arrived at the small island of Nihoa, abundant with steep rocky cliffs, rugged terrain, and home to the Nihoa Millerbirds (Acrocephalus familiaris kingi), or NIMI. Within three days, capture teams mist-netted these elusive Old World warblers, then the aviculture team placed them into a special holding area on the ship for a long voyage north to their final home: Laysan Island.

    This effort has been a long time coming, for there has been a recommendation for the NIMI translocation to happen within the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands for over 30 years to reduce their risks of extinction. As recently as 1923 Laysan Island had its own subspecies of Laysan Millerbird (Acrocephalus familiaris familiaris), but due to guano mining, rabbit introduction, and subsequent devegetation, they went the way of the Laysan Rail (Porzanula palmeri), and the Laysan Honeycreeper (Himatione sanguinea freethii), now extinct. Today the island vegetation is making a comeback thanks to years of dedicated restoration work, making Laysan a choice habitat to support a NIMI release. Laysan was selected after a long scoping and evaluation process led by Sheila Conant & Marie Morin.

    After such a long trip the NIMI’s were given a juicy treat by the outgoing Laysan NIMI American Bird Conservatory tech, John Vetter. He had spent the previous two nights capturing moths in jars from the darkened recesses of the Hurricane Shelter. Working side by side, the entire NIMI team carefully tabulated the weight and gender of each bird, then secured temporary radio transmitters on the banded birds before placing them into separate travel cages. These cages were hand carried by the Laysan summer restoration crew inland to their destination - northeast of the dead Coconut trees and into the dense low-lying brush of Naupaka. There the Millerbirds were individually placed into a final holding cage until their behavior appeared normal. The release held no fanfare, no flurry of wings. After a step and a peek they rushed into the dense foliage. Blink and you’ll miss it. This bird is a scurrier.

    Two translocations have now taken place for this species to Laysan as 24 NIMI’s were first reintroduced last fall, and 26 this summer. Moving quickly through the undergrowth of northern Naupaka, this second round of newcomers are rapidly developing territories of their own. For the past three weeks, NIMI technicians Robby Kohley and Michelle Wilcox, have resighted a total of 43 NIMI’s, with 6 currently active nests. To quote Jeff Goldblum, life will found a way.

    Over 75 species of Hawaiian birds have now become extinct since the arrival of Polynesians and Europeans to Hawaii’s long chain of islands. After such a long journey, perhaps now the Nihoa Millerbird will finally be able to turn from the brink of extinction and flourish throughout the most isolated archipelago on Earth.

    BioGeographic Expedition departs for Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument

    On September 4, 2012, scientists depart aboard the NOAA Ship Hiʻialakai to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands to conduct research in Papahānaumokuākea Marine Na...
    tional Monument (PMNM).

    Over the course of 25 days, the researchers will visit Nihoa, French Frigate Shoals, Maro Reef, Pearl & Hermes, Midway, Lisianski, Gardner Pinnacles and Necker Island to conduct various activities, including surveys of deep reefs and associated reef fish; searching for alien species of coral and algae; collecting reef fish, corals, other invertebrates and algae for population genetics analyses; and ocean chemistry studies that will contribute to our understanding of climate change and ocean acidification. Scientists will also search for deepwater algal beds that were discovered in 2009. These algal beds are thought to contain numerous new species of algae.

    Green thumbs up!
    by Toni Caldwell (Biological Science Tech Volunteer/
    US Fish & Wildlife Service/Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument/Laysan Island Summer Crew 2012)

    Island restoration on Laysan encompasses seabirds, landbirds, vert...
    ebrates, invertebrates, and most importantly, vegetation. The guano mining that began in 1891, the rabbit introduction in 1903 for a failed rabbit canning industry, the guinea pigs, mules, donkeys, pigs, and domestic cattle from the early twentieth century, all contributed to the devastation of several native species on Laysan. By the time the 1923 Tanager Expedition arrived they found Laysan a sandy island devoid of vegetation. My, how far we’ve come.

    This year’s summer crew saw a dramatic increase in outplanting thanks to the addition of Tawn Speetjens, a newly hired U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Technician whose focus was solely on soils and plant propagation. Over the summer he collected buckets of soil samples from all over the island to be analyzed back in Honolulu; with his guidance two shade houses, a massive hardening house, and two rainwater catchments were built; and thanks to Tawn, with some assistance from the restoration group, vast amounts of Sporobolus virginicus, Lepidium bidentatum var. owaihiense, Chenopodium oahuense, Santalum ellipticum, Pritchardia remota, Capparis sandwichiana, Tribulus cistoides, and Solanum nelsonii have been grown in shadehouses and/or outplanted around the island. In the midst of all these accomplishments, Tawn left the island two weeks ago.

    We have all taken his departure rather hard, but we are reminded of his hijinks and familiar banter as we now dedicate every Tuesday to continuing his work. Just last week 45 hours were spent monitoring, collecting, propagating, and outplanting various plants and seeds left behind. An additional 47 hours were spent on the search and removal of nonnative species: Sporobolus pyramidatus, Pluchea indica, and Cynodon dactylon.

    With such a thriving propagation program, Laysan Island is a valuable asset among the Hawaiian Islands. It is home to one island endemic plant species (Cyperus pennatiformes), three believed extinct Northwestern Hawaiian Island endemic plant species (Cenchrus agrimonioides var. laysanensis, obsv 1923; Achyranthes atollensis; and Phyllostegia variabilis, obsv 1903), and 7 species endemic to the entire Hawaiian Archipelago (Eragrostis variabilis, Chenopodium oahuense, Capparis sandwichiana, Nama sandwicencis, Solanum nelsonii, Sicyos maximowiczii, Sicyos pachycarpus).

    Sheila Conant, co-author of the Laysan Island Ecosystem Restoration Plan of 1998, was able to come out and visit us recently. She shared her memories of previous field seasons, and related how much things have changed over the past 14 years. We have come a long way, but there is still much more to do. In five short weeks we will be turning over our field work to the incoming winter crew, completing the yearly cycle of restoration on this treasure of the archipelago, the island of Laysan.

    Second Translocation of Millerbirds Completed.

    A team working on a joint effort to save one of the United States' rarest bird species from extinction returned from a successful expedition to Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument last ...
    week. Taking advantage of mild summer sea conditions in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, the team of biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), American Bird Conservancy (ABC), and other organizations captured 26 Millerbirds on Nihoa Island and transported them to Laysan Island, 650 miles further northwest in the chain of islands, where they were released.

    This second translocation took place between August 12 and August 18, and was part of a multi-year effort to restore Millerbirds to Laysan Island within the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument and World Heritage site.
