Guam Kingfisher Chick Hatches Hope | Pittsburgh News
Description
A new Guam kingfisher chick—male 4 this year—has hatched at the National Aviary, sparking hope for the species’ comeback after 40 years of absence from its native island. Part of the Sihek Recovery Program, this tiny survivor joins a global effort to reintroduce the birds, threatened by invasive brown tree snakes. With populations now thriving on snake-free islands like Palmyra Atoll, conservationists are working toward a future where these birds breed wild again.
