Field Guide to the Birds of Hawaii and the Tropical Pacific

H D Pratt, P L Bruner & D G Berrett

Available from the end of December 2010. (Currently out of print & out of stock, re-print under consideration) The first field guide to the identification of the birds found among the islands of the tropical Pacific, including the Hawaiian Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, south-eastern Polynesia and Micronesia. The forty-five colour plates depict all plumages of all bird species that breed in the islands, as well as of those that regularly visit them and the surrounding oceans and of most species believed to be extinct on the islands. Black-and-white figures show many of the rarer visitors.

The guide is small enough to be carried afield, and it contains much previously unpublished information about behaviour, vocalisations, ecology and distribution of the birds. 409 pages.
