Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| J | Riggins | Kauai | Anytime | English |
| I am a federally licensed bird bander and nature photographer. I live on the north shore of Kauai (near Kilauea Lighthouse Refuge and Hanalei Refuge) but on occasion would be available for visits to south and western Kauai (Waimea Canyon and Koke'e Park, etc.). I am old enough that I can no longer do rugged hiking but can point out such areas to you. | ||||||

| The north shore of Kauai has at least one world-renowned site where you can be absolutely guaranteed to see native birdlife year round. | ||||||

| My husband (a science teacher who used to teach a bird course for Hawaii Pacific University's 'Elderhostel' classes here on Kaua`i) & I would like to help a visitor interested in Kaua`i birds, whether native or introduced, forest, lowland, or seabirds.

| P | Taylor | Honolulu, Oahu | Anytime | English |
| Since 2004 I've been working with endangered birds on the Big Island, Maui, and now Oahu. Last year I began working for the Army as a natural resource biologist. Working for the military allows me access to higher elevation areas, where native bird species can be found on Oahu. I have no problem taking visitors to these sites who are looking for Oahu endemics. | ||||||

| While my job usually precludes me from meeting with pals in person, it does keep me up to date on local birds and I'm familiar with good spots on all main Hawaiian Islands, and can pass on that info via email. Aloha. | ||||||
