Takahē
November 16th, 2011
This is one of the rare birds our intrepid group hopes to see while in New Zealand.The species was thought to be extinct until a small population was discovered in the Murchison Mountains in Fiordland.
Takahē (Porphyrio [Notornis] hochstetteri) (site also features sound and video recordings)
News! First takahē chick to be raised by adult takahē instead of hand puppet!
