Nene - Hawaiian Goose

Branta sandvicensis

Endangered species on the isle of Hawaii.

Adults have a black head and hindneck, buff cheeks, and a heavily furrowed neck.

The neck has black and white diagonal stripes.

The Adult's bill, legs, and feet are black.

Goslings resemble adults, but are a duller brown and with less demarcation between the colors of the head and neck, and striping and barring effects are much reduced.

The call is a soft nēnē  hence the name.
