Hawaiian Gallinule ( Hawaii )
This endangered species is threatened on all islands by loss of wetland habitat and by introduced mammalian predators. The 'Alae 'Ula is an endemic water bird (found naturally only in Hawaii) that is an endangered species with a total population perhaps in the hundreds.
According to Hawaiian legend, the gallinule brought fire from the volcano home of the gods to the Hawaiian people. During his flight, the gallinule’s formerly white forehead was burned red by the volcanos’ fire.
