Sightings of four rare birds in Kipahulu valley, one previously considered extinct are reported. The Maui Nukupuu, Maui Parrotbill, Crested Honeycreeper, and Maui Creeper are the species sighted. The occurrence of these rare birds points up the importance of retaining this area in as natural condition as possible if these birds are to be preserved as living species.
