Traveller's Wildlife Guide: Hawaii

Travellers to Hawaii go for sun, sand, and surf, but increasingly leave the beach for part of their stay to explore the islands' incredible natural attractions: stunning mountain scenery, wonderful hiking trails, glimpses of birds-many of them highly endangered-that occur nowhere else on earth. This book contains all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about the region's magnificent animal life. It includes: full-color illustrations of about 475 of Hawaii's most common fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and plants-including essentially every bird species that occurs in the main Hawaiian Islands; information on Hawaii habitats and on the most common plants visitors encounter; information on the underwater animals most snorkelers and divers actually see, and on the region's whales and dolphins; and, descriptions of the region's most frequently visited parks and reserves. Easy to carry, entertainingly written, beautifully illustrated - you will want to have this book as constant companion on your journey.
