Nene (Hawaiian Goose)
The Hawaiian state bird, the Nene, was a bird not known to Audubon in his time, and was therefore not included in the 1840 edition of Birds of America.
The Nene or Hawaiian Goose (Branta sandwicensis) is the official state bird of Hawaii. This goose has a soft honking call and lives on volcanic slopes of Hawaii. It does not spend much time in water and does not migrate.
