Guam Kingfisher Chick Hatches Hope | Pittsburgh News

A new Guam kingfisher chick—male 4 this year—has hatched at the National Aviary, sparking hope for the species’ comeback after 40 years of absence from its native island.

With populations now thriving on snake-free islands like Palmyra Atoll, conservationists are working toward a future where these birds breed wild again.
