Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
 Alakai Swamp / Waimea Canyon

The largest canyon in the Pacific and the wettest spot on earth are here on the island of Kauai. Honeycreepers abound.

Haleakala National Park
20.73 N   156.25 W
Rare Hawaiian forest birds can be seen at this park on the island of Maui. There are two distinct habitats here: cloud forests/cinder-desert and coastal rainforest. The Nene or Hawaiian Goose can occasionally be spotted near park headquarters.
