Population justification: Estimates based on surveys of both the interior and exterior areas of the Alaka'i Plateau in 2012 placed the population at 10,787 individuals (95% CI: 8,396 – 13,434) (Paxton et al. 2016). Surveys in 2018 placed the population at 8,703 individuals (95% CI: 6,467–11,221) (Paxton et al. 2020), roughly equivalent to 4,300-7,500 mature individuals overall. Assuming declines have continued at the same rate (The most recent population estimate suggests a decline of c.64% within the time period 2008-2018 [Paxton et al. 2020]), this would now place the population in the band 3,000-5,000 mature individuals. There is possibly a small, isolated population in the Makaleha Mountains (Camp et al. 2009), however this is precautionarily assumed not to host mature individuals given the lack of recent records.

Trend justification: In 1968-1973, surveys estimated 24,230 birds, largely restricted to upper elevations (USFWS 1983). In 1992, Hurricane Iniki devastated forests throughout Kaua'i and all bird populations on the island appeared to have been drastically reduced (Pratt 1993, 1994). Surveys of the Alaka`i and Kôke`e areas in 2000 yielded an estimate of c.34,500 individuals in these areas however, suggesting the species had recovered and was possibly increasing (Foster et al. 2004). Surveys in 2012 placed the population at only 10,787 birds, suggesting more recent declines (Paxton et al. 2016). The most recent population estimate of 8,703 individuals suggests a decline of c.64% within the time period 2008-2018 (Paxton et al. 2020), and as such the rate of decline is placed here in the range 60-70% within ten years.
