As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Big Island and Kauai Endangered Bird Tours Through Hawaii Life Concierge


The ‘Io, a Hawaiian hawk, flaunting its wingspan
BY Sonja Keala - There is more than one way to spend a day here in the Islands. If you want to mix up your beach lounging and salt-water soaking with something both cultural and educational, an endangered bird tour may be a perfect way to immerse yourself in the Islands and come out with a new perspective on the land and the different environments it supports.

History of Birds in Hawaii
According to the American Bird Conservancy, 71 bird species have become extinct in Hawaii. Of those, 48 were prior to the arrival of Europeans, and 23 were since Captain James Cook arrived in the Islands in 1778. Currently, the state of Hawaii has 33 endangered bird species, 10 of which have not been seen in 40+ years.
