Just a quick note that biologist James Krakowski and his wife definitely
heard the call of the Kauai 'o'o (Moho braccatus) this summer in
the central Alakai.  They heard the bird's distinctive song once
one one day and twice the next day.  The bird was not seen.

[For those who don't know about the 'o'o, it's the world's rarest
bird, and hasn't been seen since 1984.]
