One of dozens of original paintings by Julian P. Hume housed at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.).On a visit to the Smithsonian in October 2003, Helen James & Storrs Olson showed us several wonderful paintings of an artist depiction of extinct Hawaiian subfossil avifauna. The truth is, however, that no one alive really knows what they actually looked like. But, Julian does a great job of bringing the bones to life with his world class paintings!Helen & Storrs allowed me to take photographs with the condition that they not be shown publicly until published. The photos were finally published in "Extinct Birds of Hawaii" (2016) by Michael Walther and generously illustrated by Julian P. Hume.This comparison painting shows a scaled reconstruction of extinct Hawaiian geese with nn (far right).From left to right:+ Giant Hawaiian goose (Branta sp.), Hawaii Island; extinct+ Kauai Turtle-jawed goose (Chelychelynechen quassus), Kauai; extinct+ Maui nui moa-nalo (Thambetochen chauliodous), Maui, Lnai and Molokai (Maui Nui); extinct+ Oahu moa-nalo (Thambetochen xanion), Oahu; extinct
