** 2012, Julia Flynn Siler, Lost Kingdom, Grove Press, page 76: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.
