Nice photos with generalized text
By Jack Holloway
THE BASICS:
softcover; 179 good color photos of 165 (63%) of Hawaii's species; includes 25 endemic species and 53 alien species; excludes extinct birds and the vagrants; a short paragraph gives a general description of the birds plus natural history notes; no range maps are included
THE REVIEW:
This new guide offers many good photos of the subset of birds expected to be found on the six main islands of Hawaii. In all, 165 (63%) of Hawaii's species are covered. The other 100 vagrant species and the several extinct birds known to occur on Hawaii are not addressed. Also not included are the four endemic birds for the outlying islands of Laysan (Laysan Duck and Laysan Finch) and of Nihoa (Nihoa Millerbird and Nihoa Finch).
Most of the birds are shown with a single color photograph which is typically of good quality in both color and size. While the individual photos are good, the selection of photos seems a little odd or, perhaps, inconsistent. With only one photo per bird for most of the species, a decision had to be made as to which plumage would be displayed. There seems to be no set strategy or decision regarding this. As an example, some of the ducks are shown with only a photo of the female while others are shown only as a male. Some are shown in breeding plumage while others are in eclipse plumage. This same mixture of plumages is also true for the many shorebirds: Some are shown in breeding and others in non-breeding, even when the migrant bird is present in Hawaii in both plumages.
The one-photo-per bird (for most of the species) creates a weakness with the gulls, terns, shearwaters, and boobies. There are a variety of plumages within these birds, but only the adult is shown. It would have been nice to show the very different immature plumage of the Red-footed Boobies that fly around in abundance, especially when these younger birds are often thought to be Brown Boobies by the less experienced birders.
However, I must give credit to the selection of five different photos for the various plumages of the Elepaio that are found on several of the Hawaiian islands. These plumages can be notably different from island to island. An honorable mention should also be given for a small inset photo provided for the differently plumaged juveniles of the Apapane and Iiwi.
Each bird receives a brief paragraph (7-14 lines) that provides a general description of the bird along with notes about the bird's natural history. This information consists of a mixture of habitat, population status, behavior, seasonal appearance, and introduction background. This information will provide the casual birder with a nice review of each bird.
The book is organized into five sections based on a general categorization of the environments where the birds are found. These five sectors are Urban, Country, Forest, Wetland, and Seabirds. A checklist is provided in the appendix, which nearly matches the birds shown in the five categories. I say "nearly" because the checklist includes a few additional birds that are mentioned but not illustrated in the book. Each checklist has a column for each of the six main islands that outlines the status and frequency of each bird.
There are no range maps for the birds, which I think is an oversight. Even though the checklist in the back shows the bird's presence on an island, the inclusion of even a small map with the appropriate island(s) colored in would have been very useful. One more map-related item that is missing is an introductory map to show the location or names of the islands mentioned in the book.
This book will certainly appeal to many birders who want to learn more about the birds of the islands. Since there are relatively few species of birds expected to be seen on each island, the photos will certainly aid with identification most of the time. For the more ardent birder, this book might be viewed only as another nice source of photos that mimics other similar books that illustrate the Hawaiian birds. This book is not a field guide. Instead, it is a nice photo guide to help become acquainted with Hawaii's birds. -- (written by Jack at Avian Review with sample pages, November 2009)

great photos
By Dan Lindsay
Some of the best photographs of Hawai`ian birds are included in this little volume, along with accurate and easy-to-read text. This is a very worthwhile addition to the small number of good Hawai`ian bird books.
The book's limitations include an absence of birds for which no photograph is available, including the enigmatic Nukupu`u and the inaccessible endemic birds of the Northwest Chain. Obviously, in a photographic guide there can be no pictures of birds which went extinct before good photographs were possible. But the quality of the photos given, and the excellent text, make this a valuable book both for the experience birder and the casual observer.

This book replicates the Audubon Society book "Hawaii's Birds"
By Jim C
When I saw this book had come out, I was excited that a new book building on the existing books regarding the birds of Hawaii - both pelagic and amazing endemic honeycreepers would be published. Compared to the mainland, I always thought the existing books regarding Hawaii's birds could be updated. The two mainstays are:
1. Pratts "A Field Guide to the Birds of the Tropical Pacific" published in 1987 which now appears somewhat dated with some of the honeycreepers shown in plates that do not appear lifelike and the pelagic birds shown flying either from below or above, not both.
2. The Audubon's Societies "Hawaii's Birds" which is a 5x7 photographic book of Hawaii's birds with typically one page per bird with one photo per bird.
Reviewing my copy of the Bird's of Hawaii, this book is essentially a larger version the Audubon book, but lacks the Audubon book's pictures of the birds that are recently thought to have gone extinct. It drives me crazy that a book on the birds of Hawaii devotes the same amount of attention to a house sparrow as compared to a 'Akiapola'au or 'Akohekohe - 1 page for each!? The book title specifically references offshore waters but over half the pictures (one picture per species) show a bird siting on the ground. I bought this book for expanded coverage on Hawaii's native birds and pelagics but all I received was a larger remake with new pictures, some better, some worse.
This book is larger in size than the Audubon book with about the same information and too big to be used a field guide so what niche was it expected to fill?
Can someone publish a new book on Hawaii's birds that includes the following:
1. More photos or pictures of the pelagic birds expected in Hawaii's waters including flying from above and below.
2. A Sibley-style field guide devoted only to Hawaii.
3. An expanded description, maybe 3 or 4 pages with more than 1 picture per species of Hawaii's great endemic forest birds.
4. Pictures of the birds that Hawaii has lost, both before cook and the Polynesians.
This book does not meet any of the criteria above.
