Also known as the Hawaiian Stilt.
From the series of thirty-three prints, Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii, by Marian Berger.
From summitpacific.com: "Hawaiian Stilts are endangered due to hunting, loss of habitat, environmental contaminants, and introduced predators such as feral cats, rats, mongoose, and bullfrogs. Other avian predators include owls, herons, and Cattle egrets. Hunting or shooting the Hawaiian Stilt is illegal.
The Hawaiian stilt is a slender wading bird that has the longest bill of all members of the stilt group. It feeds mainly on insects and crustaceans and readily moves to newly disturbed sites where invertebrates are easy to obtain."
