A nice, very detailed, pencil sketch of the Hawaiian O'o.
From the German Naturalis website: "The cultivation of the Hawaiian Islands had a disastrous effect on the indigenous avifauna. After Europeans arrived in the archipelago, various rails, thrushes, and many of the famous Hawaiian honeycreepers vanished. Another group which suffered heavily were the O-o honeyeaters. All four species of Moho are extinct. These are the Hawaii O-o Moho nobilis, the Molokai O-o Moho bishopi, the Oahu O-o Moho apicalis and the Kauai O-o, Moho braccatus."
