North Island Kokako

North Island Kokako (Callaeus wilsoni)

Another endangered species (the South Island Kokako is extinct). The females are vulnerable to predators during a 50 day nesting period, hence there is a shortage of females. Very difficult to photograph, I never got a clear view of the whole bird.
