Summary[edit]

Description Hawaiian Petrel chicks imprint on their birth colony the first time they emerge from their burrows and see the night sky and will return to breed at the same colony as adults. Since chicks were removed from their natural burrows before this critical imprinting stage, they will emerge from their nest boxes and imprint on the Nihoku area and return to the site as adults. In the meantime, they will be hand-fed a slurry of fish and squid and their growth carefully monitored until they leave their new nest burrows and fly out to sea. They will remain at sea for the next three to five years until they return to the same site as adults. The new colony will be the only fully protected colony of federally listed seabirds anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands and represents a huge achievement towards recovering this species. Adding translocations of Newell's Shearwater will be an important next step in the project.
