Wildlife Editorial Review
**** Jim Denny's "A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Hawaii" stands out among birding guides for its unique approach, relying on photographs instead of traditional artwork for bird identification. This all-photograph format is particularly beneficial for both novice bird watchers and seasoned birders, as visual recognition is crucial in the field. The book is structured differently than more conventional guides, categorizing birds by their habitats—such as Urban, Country, Forest, Wetlands, and Seabirds—rather than taxonomically. This organizational style has been well-received, with many readers noting how it simplifies the identification process, making it easier to locate specifics based on where the birds are typically found. The quality of the photographs has drawn positive remarks, highlighting their clarity and usefulness for identification. However, some criticism has arisen regarding the decision to include only one photograph for most species, which may overlook key variations in plumage or characteristics associated with age or sex discrimination. Readers have mentioned that while the images are excellent, certain species, particularly those with significant sexual dimorphism or differing juvenile forms, benefit from more comprehensive visual representation. Moreover, the accompanying text, though concise, is informative and adds depth to the identification process, including notes about the bird's natural history, status, and optimal viewing locations. This focus on accessibility and utility makes the guide a handy field companion during excursions in Hawaii. While it does not cover all species found in the region, it offers a robust overview of 165 species, including important natives. For birders seeking a single concise guide for Hawaiian birdwatching, this volume is highly recommended, though experienced birders might prefer to supplement it with additional resources for a more complete experience. **
