Ko'ko' bird (Guam Rail) is a critically endangered species in the Mariana Islands. Once considered extinct in the wild, a few are now found on Cocos Island off Guam. Currently the bulk of the population is in captive breeding programs. They are mainly threatened by invasive snakes & feral cats.

In celebration of their recent release back into the wild for the first time in many decades, may I suggest: the Guam Sihek!

Oh wow, I hadn't heard about that, that's spectacular! I couldn't find info on them having been released out of their transitional aviaries on Palmyra Atoll (as of 9/6/2024, when I am queuing up this post), but the fact that they've arrived there is huge. If they have been released and I missed it, I'd love if someone linked me to it!! I'm excited now :)
