Aug 31, 1997 / Ohau River Delta / Kaki (black stilt)
4 release events occured in 1996 and 1997. The release in 1996 was a "trial release" where birds were transported to the site in boxes and released on the same day. By the the release in 1997, stilts from earlier releases had formed pairs with each other, with other wild birds, and had successfully produced young. (Maloney & Murray, 2000)
