North American Bird Search Box
On these pages of Classic Collection of North American Birds Ltd, you will find bird
species, bird families and birds of interest, that are seen or have been seen on the continent of North America.
Most of the birds shown will be native birds, who nest on a yearly basis throughout the lands and waters.
Others will be introduced birds and vagrant birds, that have been seen and identified as arriving from foreign countries
and waters. Others, will be exotic birds, likely seen in parks, zoos, refuges or even escaped birds from private or public
aviaries. Because of the large number of birds, each of these pages will pertain to birds in specific alphabetical groups.
The birds on this page, from S to Z, include images and info on the swallows, tanagers, vireos, wrens, yellowlegs and so many more. Enjoy!

References to Other Bird Sites:
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.
