Hi! I would like information on birding areas on the islands of Maui and Oahu for the last week of April to the first of May. I will have a car for a week in Maui and a day in Honolulu. Any pointers to areas or publications would be appreciated. - Barbara

I'm going to be going out to Hawaii at the end of May/beginning of June. Can anyone recommend some good birding locations or Hawaiian birding books? Can anyone tell me the phone numbers of local birding clubs or the phone number of the Hawaii branch of the Audubon society. I would be interested in hooking up with a group of fellow birders. Please respond via E-mail. Thanks in advance. -- Mark A.

We also stopped in Hosmer Grove on the way back down--a good birding spot to see Apapane, I'iwi, and the Hawaiian Owl--at the time I was not a birder but I enjoyed it.
