Title	Nihoa Millerbird Translocation
Contact	mailto:nctcimages@fws.gov
Creator	Hagerty, Ryan
Description	Nihoa Millerbird team safely transports Millerbirds off of Nihoa Island. The Nihoa millerbird is a tiny land bird measuring approximately 5 inches in length that was discovered on the island of Nihoa in 1923. Another subspecies once occurred on Laysan Island, where it went extinct in the early 20th century after the island was devegetated by introduced rabbits. It has dark gray-brown feathers above, a buffy-white belly, and a thin dark colored bill. This bird got its name because its favorite food is the miller moth. Male and female birds are similar looking.
