When Theodore Roosevelt created the Hawaiian Islands reserve for the protection of native birds, the expansive Northwestern Hawaiian island had not been the subject of a systematic scientific inquiry. The expeditions aboard the USS Tanager changed our understanding of some of the nation’s most remote territories. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

any of them got disturbed by the bombing of Pearl Harbor ?
As well as a very jazzy bow tie Lance is sporting a matching handkerchief — which, on closer inspection, appears to be a folded-up necktie. Could we be seeing the emergence of a new fashion trend?
History of the ice cream, potato chip, ice cream sandwich, drumstick sundae, and
couldn't save the dodo bird after all that so i call bs. scientists certainly will witness the extinction of another species
My junior high history teacher said: “Maybe I shouldn’t say this but the Vietnam War is a good thing because it helps keep world population down.”
Aloha Sir,
Can you tell the truth about the illegal annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom, The truth of the military overthrow, There is a resource in Dr Sai, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMa5Kg5nC8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG9Z6mlEPWE, The truth is, HAWAI'I IS NOT part of the US and is not a state of this union. Mahalo. Kris
Thank you!
Theodore Roosevelt was the finest environmentalists. He was a great man who thoroughly enjoyed nature.
Learning is a understatement for this channel
Are these islands right in the middle or the edge of the big pacific plastic float?
There's a bird sanctuary on the marine Corp base in kbay….its right on the shooting range. And I never saw one marine ever shoot towards or remotely close to the birds.
I'm an expert in bird law…
"Executive order"… 🙁 We fought a war to get away from a monarchy and we still let our leaders do the equivalent of a "royal edict"? I thought that was what we were fighting AGAINST… 🙁
Love these stories…. Greatest history that will be remembered, thanks to this channel…
I believe it not "national" fish and wildlife, but U.S. Fish and WIldlife.
For a period of time. The U.S. Coast Guard had a LORAN-A station on Tern Island at French Frigate Shoals. From mid 1978 to Feb 1979. I was stationed at that facility. I loved it out there, and there were birds everywhere. They've since closed the facility, and the buildings that remained were turned over to Hawaii and the University of Hawaii used it as a research station. The last I've heard about the facility is that a storm damaged it. The newer buildings were built up off the ground, as the elevation of the island above sea level was only 6 feet. The walls were designed to be knocked out in a storm, but could easily be replaced and the buildings put back into operation. I don't know if that was ever done or not. I miss that place. Had a lot of fun there. Lots of birds, sea turtles, and the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal also made their homes there. And talk about a bird population increase when they Albatross (Gooney Bird) came to nest.
I would love to have $26 a day for food!
Such an interesting channel for history lovers.
I have asked before that you do a piece on women aviators. There are so few that are know, besides Amelia Earhart. I believe that Mrs. Marion Cummins of Cummins diesel engines was a flight instructor for the war.
People carnivores of any meat are cannibals
Teddy needed to eat psilocybin mushrooms to tamper his cannibalism
The research you do in producing these videos is amazing. I lived in Hawaii for 11 years in the '60's and '70's, and visited the Bishop Museum many times. The feather cloaks and headdresses worn by the Alii which are displayed are beautiful, but accounted for several species of native birds going extinct.
Past US presidents did things to preserve nature, then you have that idiot trump who did nothing but destroy it.
Love your work!
Mahalo Nui History Guy!!!!
Ha = Breath. Wai = Water. `I = Spirit. These Islands of Breath -Water-Spirit….These Hawai'i!
Rail….land flightless native Hawaiian birds. Human remains.
How did the evasive species get there?
I attended Samuel Wilder King Intermediate School (zoo) Kaneohe, Hawai'i. Lol…King Cobra.
Today the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are still protected. Hefty fines are a consequence of poaching.
Thank you History Guy to showcase my home State of Hawai'i. Hawai'i Five-Oh.
Another possible subject is Alexander Von Humboldt and his traveling colleague Aimé Bonpland. They explored much of Latin American and recorded its wildlife in the early 19th century.
Pauahi pronounced "pow-AH-hee"
Great story. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for highlighting one of the many rich historical events from Hawaii
The death of a bird species is tragic but saving all the rest, a very good gesture. Japan likes killing sharks for soup, and birds for feathers? They are not good for this earth.
