About This Book

This booklet is a concise field guide to the birds found in Hawaii's protected volcanic parks, combining natural history, species accounts, and conservation notes. It explains how birds colonized the islands and outlines causes of native bird decline, then offers identification entries organized by family with descriptions of appearance, voice, habitat, park distribution, and seasonal movements. Illustrations and practical site recommendations accompany accounts of native, endemic, and introduced species, emphasizing threats from habitat loss, introduced predators, and disease while guiding visitors to likely viewing locations within the parks.

The Hawaii Natural History Association, a nonprofit organization devoted to aiding the park interpretive program, has produced several other booklets to help you enjoy the parks in Hawaii. These may be obtained at headquarters in either park or by writing directly to the association, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii.
