New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | blue duck, Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos There are two birds the local branch of the ornithological society take a proprietary interest in, Tuturiwhatu, the New Zealand dotterel and Whio, the blue duck, both being the more precious for being so highly endangered. Monitoring the New Zealand or red breasted dotterel is a relatively easy trip to the local sand spits but the blue duck is another matter, involving a long tortuous drive up to Toatoa and to the western edge of the Raukumara Forest Park.
