The Hawaiian Islands have a unique avifauna, with their endemic specialties, seabirds and large numbers of introduced species. Unfortunately, there are far more introduced species than surviving endemic species. Oahu, where the capital Honolulu is located, has relative few endemic bird species and the largest variety of introduced species. On Maui there is Haleakala National Park, while the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is located on the 'Big Island'. Both are worth visiting not only because of the spectacular landscape, but also to look for rare endemic bird species. Both parks belong to an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site. This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of the Hawaiian Islands in colored pictures. As a bonus, links to HD videos of more than 35 bird species are included. Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
