Birding tours in Hawaii in June?
Hi, In Mid-June to early July, I'm traveling to Kauai, Big Island, and Oahu with my teenage son who is a passionate birder. Any recommendations for endemic bird tours, local birding guides or specific places to go? I can't seem to find any tours that offer dates during that period of time.- Birdingmom
