Extinct Birds of Hawaiʻi captures the vanishing world of unique bird species that has  slipped away in the Hawaiian  Islands, mostly due to human impact on ecosystems. Richly illustrated and including paintings by Julian P. Hume (many painted specifically for this volume), it enables us to vicariously enjoy avian life once found only Hawaiʻi, but that exists no longer.
