Hawaii (Traveller's Wildlife Guides) : Traveller's Wildlife Guide

Travelers to Hawaii come for sun, sand, and surf, but increasingly venture beyond the beach to explore the islands' incredible natural attractions: stunning mountain scenery, wonderful hiking trails, and glimpses of birds—many of them highly endangered—that occur nowhere else on Earth. This guide provides all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Hawaii's unique land animals and magnificent sea life.

Inside you'll find identification and location information on the most frequently seen animals, including essentially every bird species that occurs in the main Hawaiian Islands (and on Midway Atoll). Color illustrations showcase nearly 400 of Hawaii's most common insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, while up-to-date information covers the ecology, behavior, and conservation of profiled animals. The book also includes details on Hawaiian habitats and the most common plants visitors encounter, plus a special section on Hawaii's famous coral reefs and the underwater animals most snorkelers and divers actually see.

Easy-to-carry, entertainingly written, and beautifully illustrated, this comprehensive guide makes the perfect constant companion for your Hawaiian journey. Brief descriptions of Hawaii's most frequently visited parks and reserves help you plan your wildlife-watching adventures.
