| Useful Links for Hawaii Island Birding | |

(a work in progress...) |
|
| This is quite a wonderful website, offering eco-tours and a great deal of additional information for birders. I particularly liked the section which shows both bird pictures and downloadable bird calls and songs for many Hawaii forest birds. | |

| The Na Ala Hele website gives brief descriptions and locations of some of the many hiking/birding/hunting trails available on different islands within the state. One purpose of my website is to augment a portion of these descriptions with TOPO! topographic maps, trail elevations and GPS coordinates for each trail. | |
| The Division of Fish and Wildlife is a part of the Department of Land and Natural Resources. In order to go hiking in watershed areas on Hawaii Island, a 6 months duration, free, renewable permit is necessary. In Hilo, the appropriate office is at: 19 E. Kawili Street (at the corner of Kawili and Kilauea), Hilo, HI 96720; Phone: (808) 974-4221. Office hours are ~8 AM- 4 PM M-F. This office also has brochures dealing with hunting regulations and areas, as well as cabin locations and accomodation rules. The staff is very helpful and friendly. | |
