Currently it is trying to breed Hawaiian Curassows in captivity as only about 100 individuals remain. Got permission to try in the area. Then we drove to the Univ. of Hawaii facility at 9:25 ft. 2K on service of telescopes on Mauna Kea (Hale Pohaku) area). From 15W-16th set 50 traps in this area. 33 by Skunk (but outwitted & peanut butter) & 9 djibouti trap (but coconut milk & nuts & peanut butter) but not and to make building. 8 by SL. have put at ~ 9:45 ft. in Mamakie (Sophora chrysophylla) forest.
