EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration, created by William Ellis during Captain James Cook's third voyage (1776-1780), captures the beauty and intrigue of the Moho nobilis, also known as the Hawaii 'o'o or the Moho bird. The Moho was a native bird species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, belonging to the Aves order and the Mohoidae family. The Moho was a distinctive bird, characterized by its curved, downward-curving beak and long, decurved, and slightly downward-curving bill. This unique bill structure was perfectly adapted to the bird's feeding habits, which primarily consisted of probing the ground for insects and other invertebrates. Unfortunately, the Moho nobilis, like many other native Hawaiian species, was significantly impacted by human activities during the 18th and 19th centuries. Diseases introduced by European explorers and settlers, such as avian pox and rats, decimated their populations. Additionally, deforestation and habitat destruction due to logging and agriculture further contributed to their decline. This illustration, part of a larger collection of sketches of mammals, birds, and fish made during Cook's expedition, provides a valuable record of the Moho nobilis and other native Hawaiian species. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that once existed in the Hawaiian Islands and the importance of preserving and protecting endangered species and their habitats. The Moho nobilis was last seen in the wild in the late 19th century, and is now considered extinct. Today, efforts are underway to reintroduce the bird to the Hawaiian Islands through captive breeding and reintroduction programs. This illustration remains an important historical and scientific record of a remarkable and irreplaceable species.
