Here I present a 6-month bird inventory of Laysan (25.776° N, 171.733° W), a coral island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Forty-four species belonging to 17 families were recorded, including six globally threatened species. Three species new to Laysan were found: Tringa brevipes , Tringa glareola , and Larus hyperboreus . This study expands upon previous ornithological coverage of the island, the majority of which has been partial, transitory, or historical.
