	Voices of Hawaii's Birds. Hawaii Audubon Society and Cornell Lab, 2009. Authored by H. Douglas PRATT. This is an audio companion to the Hawaii Audubon Society's book Hawaii's Birds.

It includes 183 separate recordings of over 130 species of seabirds, wetland birds, open country birds, and native and introduced forest birds, including all the birds one is likely to hear around Hawai'i's resorts.

This collection will be valuable to both birders and ornithologists, and will provide interesting listening even for those with no particular interest in birds because bird sounds are in the background of everyone's life.
