 While on holiday on the north island of New Zealand, my son arranged for a naturalist to lead us on a nighttime hike to find the elusive little spotted kiwi bird.  This shy New Zealand Kiwi bird is the size of a chicken, much larger than I imagined.   We could hear kiwis calling in the night, but sightings are quite rare.  
These unusual birds were considered nearly extinct in 1875, and are making a comeback due to the conservation efforts of  New Zealanders.  Our hike was near Wellington, in the Karori Sanctuary.  We viewed many unique bird, reptile, and insect species on our hike.  We used red flashlight torch lights to look for the nocturnal kiwis, and needed to be very quiet, a difficult task for AlaskaGranny!
