The Birds of the Hawaiian Islands:
Occurrence, History, Distribution, and Status
Version 2 - 1 January 2017

 Robert L. Pyle and Peter Pyle

Acknowledgments

Thousands of individuals have assisted with this project, the majority by contributing observational data and photographs to the senior author during the construction of the SIGHTINGS database archived and maintained by the Occurrence and Status of Birds in Hawaii volunteer project at the B.P. Bishop Museum (BPBM), Honolulu. Of these, we must first single out Peter Donaldson, who not only has contributed the second-highest totals of observation contributed to the database and photographs contributed to the HRBP files (to those of the authors; see below), but was a long-time birding companion to the senior author, and organizer of bird records and information. It is fitting that Peter took over writing the Hawaii column for North American birds following the passing of Robert Pyle in July 2007, and Peter's subsequent tracking of records after the SIGHTINGS database was put on hold (in 2006) has been instrumental to the junior author in updating the accounts for this site. Other long-time Hawaii residents and birders who assisted Robert throughout the years and contributed many records and photos (see below) include W. Mike Ord, Reginald David, H. Douglas Pratt, Andrew Engilis, and, formerly, Rey Larsen and Walter Donagho. C. John Ralph, co-author with Robert on American Birds accounts in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with help from Peter Paton, was instrumental in helping Robert initiate the SIGHTINGS database.

After Robert Pyle left us, a call was made to donate funding to the Pyle Fund at BPBM (in lieu of flowers, etc.) for the completion of this monograph. The response was heart-warming and the site could not have been completed this decade, if ever, without this funding. We sincerely thank the following for their donations: Ahupua'a Natives LLC, Joan Aidem, David Ainley, Dr. Allen Allison & Ms. Isabella Forster, James K.

At BPBM this funding was administered by Tracie MacKenzie, and we also thank B.J. Short, Allen Allison, Neal Evenhuis, and Steve Coles at BPBM for assistance.

The establishment of the Hawaii Birding Listserve Group in December 2006 has greatly facilitated the transfer of information and photographs among Hawaii birders. We greatly thank Christian Melgar, currently residing in the U.K, with assistance from Reginald David and Peter Donaldson, for establishing and maintaining this site.

Those listed above and others have assisted the junior author more recently by providing specific information, reviewing accounts, helping in museum collections, and providing updates to posted accounts. For help in museum collections and for other assistance and information about Hawaiian birds we especially thank Carla Kishinami, Pumehana Imada, and Lydia Garetano at BPBM, and Storrs Olson, Helen James, James Dean, and Roger Clapp at USNM. Others who have assisted the junior author recently with publications and other information include Eric VanderWerf and Lindsay Young of Pacific Rim Conservation; Beth Flint, Holly Friefeld, Brenda Zaun, Cindy Rehnkemper, and Michelle Zwartjes at USFWS; David Smith, Cinthia Vanderlip, Jaap Eijzenga, Norma Bustos, Jay Penniman, and Fern Duvall of Hawaii DOFAW; H. Douglas Pratt; Arleone Dibben-Young; Michelle Reynolds; Chris Elphick; Michael Reed; Mike Ord; Jim Denny; Jack Jeffrey; Nick D. Holmes; Thane K. Pratt; David Kuhn; Jaan Lepson; Paul Banko; Nicholas Kalodimos; Mike Force; Mark Rauzon; Hank Oppenheimer; and Gil Ewing. Undoubtedly hundreds of others could be thanked for similar assistance given to the senior author over the past five decades.

For help with photographs and permission to use them in the HRBP file and at this site (as well as for other information), we thank Peter Donaldson, Michael Walther, Reginald David, Robin Baird & Daniel Webster of Cascadia Research Collective, Rob Shallenberger, Jim Denny, Jack Jeffrey, Forest and Kim Starr, and the many others, listed below, who have donated photographs to the file. We especially thank Michael Walther for the use of his Red-billed Tropicbird image on the banners of this site.

See http://oahunaturetours.com/photogallery/birds/photobirdsindex.html for more of Michael's images.

Finally, this has been an ohana project from the start, and we greatly acknowledge the help of Ellen, Leilani, and Richard Pyle for endless hours of kokua and aloha, without which this project could not have been completed. The junior author would like to especially thank his wife, Rowena Forest, for assistance and understanding during the compilation of this and other recent time-consuming endeavors.

A total of 235 individuals or groups have contributed photographs to the HRBP file (through HRBP 1441 and 5680; see Introduction) and 2151 individuals or groups contributed at least one observation to the SIGHTINGS database through 2006. The following lists include those contributing photographs, in the order of number of photographs contributed (listed in parentheses), and those contributing observations, as broken down into categories - over 1000, 500-1000, 100-500, 10-100, and 1-10 observations.

Acknowledgements for Version 2

Many of the above-listed individuals continued to contribute to the revision, undertaken by the junior author from during 2016 and January 2017. General acknowledgement is also due to the 100's of observers who contributed observations and photographs to the Hawaii Birding Yahoo Group and to eBird. We especially thank Michael Walther and Eric VanderWerf for encouragement, assistance, the use of many photos, and Michael additionally for assising us with the onerous job of searching for and pointing out bad links at early versions of the sites. Additional specific aknowledgement for Version 2 is due to the following:

To Marshall Iliff and the eBird team for providing a summary of all Hawaii records from 2010 to 2016 which greatly added to the revision. Information on seabirds in Hawaii was provided by Roberta Swift (general), Arliss Winship (Southeastern Hawaiian Islands), Kim Uyehara (Kaua'i), Beth Flint (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands), Ann Humphrey (Midway), Naomi Worcester and Cynthia Vanderlip (Kure), Cameron Rutt (Laysan), Paula Hartzell (French Frigate Shoals), Eric VanderWerf (O'ahu and Lehua Islet), and Frans Juola and the U.S. Navy, Commander, Pacific Fleet (Kaula Rock). We also thank Tracy Anderson for information and data from the Save Our Shearwater program on Kaua'i. Robin Baird of Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) continued to provide information and photographs from marine mammal and bird surveys in Hawaiian waters. CRC biologists who captured the many excellent images posted on the HRBP pages include Robin Baird, Daniel Webster, Annie B. Douglas, Sarah L. Ashworth, Annie M. Gorgone, Julie E. Steelman, Brenda K. Rone, Deron S. Verbeck, Elia Y. Herman, Jessica M. Aschettino, Sadie R. Youngstrom, Gregory S. Schorr, Shawn C. Larkin, Kimberly A. Wood, and Chuck A. Babbitt. Likewise, Lisa Ballance and Trevor Joyce provided data and permission to use photographs from Hawaii Cetacean and Ecosystem Assessment Surveys (HICEAS) from the 2010 survey. HICEAS biologists that provided photographs and descriptions of seabirds include Sophie Webb, Michael Force, Dawn Breese, Scott Mills, and Chris Cutler; we also extend thanks to the Chief Scientists, Officers, and Crew of the NOAA Research Vessels, on which these surveys were conducted, for making themn possible. Arleone Dibben-Young kindly provided her database on the birds on Moloka'i for use during this revision. Members of the Hawaii Bird Records Committee (HBRC), established in 2014, assisted with evaluation of records: these were Eric VanderWerf (Chair), Reginald David, Pete Donaldson, Richard May, H. Douglas Pratt, and Lance Tanino, along with Peter Pyle. Bruce Deuel, Dave Irons, Steve Mlodinow, and others provided assistance with identifications of birds in Hawaii. Many others also provided the junior author with information on individual records throughout the islands.

Over 800 new photographs have been added for Version 2. Photographers who contributed images for this site (including to the Hawaii Birding Yahoo Group and eBird), include:
