Hawaiian Ducks (Koloa) recorded per party hr on the Honolulu Christmas

Count, 1944-2014 (see Count Page), showing a slight increase in observations during the 1970s-1990s, due to re-propogation programs, followed by a decline through the 2000s and a large increase after 2008. Most observations of these ducks after the 1990s were identified as hybrids with Mallard.
