I was on several of the islands about 20 years ago. I think Kauai is the 
prettiest and birdiest of the main islands. The Waimea Canyon area is probably 
still the best place for endemics, and Kaileua point is a good place for 
seabirds such as Albatross, Tropicbirds, Frigatebirds and shearwaters. The 
Albatross may still be nesting in June or very early July. 

Best.
