North American Bird Calls

The Fox Sparrow (red) has bright rufous colours and lives in the undergrowths of the northern forest. In the nesting season, this sub-species is seen from the northern areas of Alaska, right across Canada into Newfoundland and Labrador. During the spring months, this bird can be seen and heard singing from the treetops of conifers.

Reference to Other Bird Site:

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.
