Haleakala National Park Forest Bird Inventory with Endangered Species Records

Nine honeycreeper species, including five endangered ones, are documented in this inventory from Haleakala National Park. The dataset likely contains records of species like the Maui Parrotbill and Akohekohe, which are now restricted to high-elevation forests above 1,100 meters. It was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling habitat range shifts based on elevation restrictions mentioned for species like the Maui Parrotbill.
• Assessing population trends for endangered honeycreepers such as the Maui akepa and Poouli.
• Supporting conservation planning by analyzing historical detection records from specific locations like Kipahulu Valley.

Strengths

• Focuses on nine specific bird species with five listed as endangered.
• Includes precise elevation and location details for species sightings, such as 1,872 meters in Kipahulu Valley.
• Managed by a federal agency, the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-04).
