Hawaiian Ne-Ne
Hawaiian geese are found only in the Hawaiian Islands and are the only extant species of goose not occurring naturally in continental areas. The Hawaiian goose formerly bred on all or most of the Hawaiian Islands, but currently is restricted to Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui Islands. Preferred nest sites include sparsely to densely vegetated beach strands, shrublands, grasslands, and woodlands on well-drained soil, volcanic ash, cinder, and lava rock substrates. Females typically nest on the ground and lay an average of 3 eggs.
