This Birds of North America bird guide has over 1,000 bird species. Not including the sub-species, exotics and other birds of interest. We hope it will help you identify birds that have been seen on or near the continent of North America. Classic Collection of North American Birds Ltd, also known as CCNAB is for the beginners and the experienced birders. One of the primary goals is to show birds listed on the ABA (American Birding Association) list, which includes all the native birds and the vagrants, who have been visitors or strays from other countries or seas.
All birds are listed alphabetically by bird families, including warblers, thrushes, waterfowls, waders, owls, eagles, hawks to name a few. I hope you will take the time to search through the CCNAB website, please enjoy.
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify and understand our fine feathered friends.
