     In 1907, when a well-known collector named Alanson Bryan realised that he had shot the last three specimens of black mamos, a species of forest bird that had only been discovered the previous decade, he noted that the news filled him with ‘joy’.

     The plaintive whistle of the Hawai‘i mamo, a shy bird then found only on Hawai‘i Island, was heard only rarely by the mid-1880s, as cattle ranching and plantations altered the forest canopies where this nectar-loving finch once thrived.
