Photos of Birds are by Ornithologist Hadoram Shirihai, unless otherwise noted. They are not available for purchase but may be used, by prior arrangement, for education or conservation. The images are chosen to evoke the character of the bird, as well as to provide a "search image" for the hopeful birder.

Aloha from Kaua'i!
