Overview

[edit]

There was no segregation on the thrushes that existed either on Molokai or Lanai, which were given the name Olomao. In addition, there was no confirmation of any thrush siting on Maui. On Kauai, there were more than one thrush species that were documented and accounted for. With a fighter-jet-like flying maneuver, the thrush used to fly vertically while singing melodies and then flying down into the lower lush canopy.

Distribution and Habitat

[edit]

On Kauai, the Kama'o lived in solitude and kept to itself in very lush forests or montane. They frequented an area called the Alakai Swamp. While not confirmed, but it was never seen flying below 3,500 feet in Kauai. Even though the bird was a frequent resident, the last documented siting was in 1989, but it was not documented in a 2000 bird survey.
