Hello folks, I need your help in answering a (difficult for me) question about a bird. I try to translate the given informations as good as possible.


In the year 1971 (give or take) scientists discovered for the first time the breeding site/nest of this bird.
Location was the oldest island in a group of islands. (its therefore probably of volcanic origin)
In 1987 (give or take) for the last time the song of a male bird was heard and recorded. The recording is published in the web.
This bird was probably not only the last of its species, but also the last of its genus.
What is the scientific name of this bird?
This bird has also been filmed only once and the exact date of this is needed, too.

Maybe one of you has an idea.
Thank you!
