Birdfinding.info \u21d2<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 The last documented observations of Oloma\u2019o<\/strong> occurred in 1980, when three were observed on the Olokui Plateau in eastern Molokai, between Wailau and Pelekunu Valleys.\u00a0 During the previous summer two had been seen at Pu\u2019u Waha\u2019ulu.\u00a0 It seems clear that a small population persisted until at least 1980, and likely beyond.\u00a0 The Olokui Plateau is remote and apparently has not been surveyed since 1980, so it is conceivable that the Oloma\u2019o still survives there.\u00a0 Reports from the Kamakou Preserve in 1988, 1994, and 2005 have not been widely accepted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Endemic to Molokai and Lanai, but presumed to be extinct.<\/strong><\/p>

It remained numerous on both islands until the 1920s or so, then suddenly declined, likely due to avian malaria.\u00a0 It is believed to have been extirpated from Lanai around 1930, and survived on Molokai until at least 1980, possibly for several years longer, conceivably to the present day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Identification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

A typical Myadestes<\/em> solitaire with brown upperparts and pale-gray underparts.<\/p>

The immature plumage was brown with paler spots.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Polytypic species consisting of two recognized subspecies.\u00a0 Traditionally considered conspecific with the Kama\u2019o<\/strong> (M. myadestinus<\/em>)<\/a>, Amaui<\/strong> (M. woahensis<\/em>)<\/a>, and Oma\u2019o<\/strong> (M. obscurus<\/em>)<\/a>, collectively known as the Hawaiian Thrush (M. obscurus<\/em>), but recognized as separate species since 1982.\u00a0 Sometimes also considered conspecific with just the Amaui, but genetic analyses of relatedness reportedly support treatment as a separate species.<\/p>
