Learning to distinguish the complex variety of avian utterances in Hawai'i can be a daunting prospect. What we call "Songs" (as opposed to "calls") are the most distinctive and easiest to sort out by species, if we treat each of the main islands separately. So this is my approach here--island-by-island treatment of the songs (or most distinctive sounds) of native forest birds--Just click on the island. To the left of the Map find a page each for Seabirds, Raptors, Waterbirds, Waders, and Aliens found throughout the Islands.
