> So far, plans to repopulate Hawaii’s forests with its native crows have been upended in part by the ‘io. The hawks are the crows’ natural predator, and have come after the corvids during prior reintroduction efforts

Interesting, where I am I see crows chasing hawks a lot. Maybe it is due to population density. There are many more crows than hawks here.

With 120 left and all in captivity, it does not look good. Plus I wonder if the crows would even know the io (hawk) represents danger these days.
