Marshall Islands

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

My destination was the Republic of Palau, 470 miles east of the Philippines. Palau includes over 200 islands totaling 200 square miles scattered from north to south for 125 miles. The majority of the islands are within a single barrier reef. The thickly vegetated high island of Babeldaob is the largest island in Micronesia after Guam. The population is approximately 18,000...
