Hawaii, Travellers' Wildlife Guides
Les Beletsky
FIELD GUIDE 2005 PAPER 350 PAGES
An all-around field guide intended for the curious traveler, this handbook features color illustrations of commonly-encountered birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, and coral reef creatures. It also includes a good introduction to Hawaii, its natural history and conservation. It's a well written overview of just about everything natural you are likely to see, which like the other volumes in the series, showcases the author's ostentatiously bad sense of humor. It's rife with puns.
