Oʻahu ʻakialoa

The Oʻahu ʻakialoa (Akialoa ellisana) was a Hawaiian honeycreeper in the subfamily Carduelinae of the family Fringillidae (finches). It was formerly considered a subspecies in the greater akialoa complex before being elevated to a full species. It was endemic to the island of Oʻahu in the Hawaiian Islands.

Description
Akialoa ellisiana

The bird was a long-billed insectivorous bird that was found in the high elevation forest. It was a dull colored species, dull green on the belly, bright green on rump and tail, dark olive-gray back and speckled yellow and green on the head. It was mainly an insectivore, using its bill to probe through the bark in search of arthropods, also using its long bill to probe flowers for nectar.

Status

Already endangered from the loss of habitat through forest clearance, it was susceptible to avian influenza, an introduced disease carried by mosquitoes. Scientists were sure that this bird was still common in the 1860s, evidence found by Perkins. Afterward, few reports came in, though two were presumed to be seen in 1933 and one in 1940.

gollark: Do NOT range extenders, for various reasons.
gollark: OpenWRT is quite pleasant to use, in my experience.
gollark: You probably want to either have something which is explicitly an access point, or run custom firmware, because some "router" products might try and be too smart and operate a NAT.
gollark: What I would do is install routers in room 1 and 3 with Ethernet links to each other, install OpenWRT, operate them as access points with the same SSID, and use 802.11r stuff to make them work together nicelyish.
gollark: If you have a wire to room 3, then just install another AP there.
