Hawaiian Geese (Nene) recorded
per party hr on the Kapa'a Christmas Count, Kaua'i, 1971-2007 (see Count
Page). The increasing trend during the
1990-2000s primarily reflects
reintroduction programs initiated at Kilauea NWR in 1991. Graphs of Christmas Count data
developed as part of The Birds of the Hawaiian Islands: Occurrence, History, Distribution, and
Status by Robert L. Pyle and Peter Pyle
