Endangered Sihek Birds Soar Again in Wild After 40 Years

In an inspiring effort to restore biodiversity, six sihek birds, once extinct in the wild, have been reintroduced to their natural habitat for the first time in four decades. These vibrant cerulean and cinnamon-colored Guam kingfishers were carefully nurtured by specialists at the Sedgwick County Zoo before being relocated to the tropical forests of Palmyra Atoll. After a period of acclimatization on Cooper Island, the sihek birds were successfully released into the wild as part of the Sihek Recovery Program. This marks a significant milestone in species conservation, bringing hope for the revival of this unique bird species.
