Summary[edit] Description: Endangered Hawaiian Petrels, or ʻUaʻu, are one of two seabird species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and are found nowhere else on Earth. They have declined dramatically due to predation by introduced mammals, such as cats, rats, and pigs, and due to collisions with man-made structures during their nocturnal flights from their breeding colonies in the mountains to the ocean where they search for food. Surrounded by fine mesh stainless steel fencing, 6.5 feet high, the 7.8 acre enclosure at Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge protects the birds from predators, and the enclosure has recently been partially restored with native vegetation. Seabird-friendly nest boxes, specifically designed to mimic natural burrows, have been installed. Date: 3 November 2015, 07:13. Source: Endangered Hawaiian petrel. Photo credit: Brenda Zaun/USFWS.
