In this episode I talk with Alex Wang, a birder and conservation biologist living on the Big Island of Hawaii, who is home to visit his family in Tacoma.  His Dad, Art Wang was my guest on Episode #14 so be sure to check that out too. We talk about many conservation issues for birds on the Hawaiian Islands, the inclusion of Hawaii into the ABA area, and Alex's birding story.  Enjoy.  
This is a link to the Hawaii Birding Babe home page where you can likely find Alex to take you on a day of birding on the big island if you visit there.  https://www.facebook.com/Hawaii.Birding.Babe/
This is the Hawaii Audubon webpage where you can read about birding in Hawaii. http://www.hawaiiaudubon.org/birding-in-hawaii
Be sure to look for my post on BirdBanter.com for a blog post with photos Alex provided of many of the native Hawaiian birds, literally in his hand from banding work.  http://birdbanter.com/index.php/blog/
Wish me safe travels in Asia, and I hope to find great guests to talk with there for future episodes. 
Until then, Good Birding.  Good Day!
