North American Birds - Information and Photos

With South Dakota Bird List

The following represents the 969 species on the current American Birding Association checklist for North America, with the area basically defined as the United States and Canada.  The table lists the species in rough taxonomical order.  Click on the species name to see a detailed information page about that species, including photos, a North American range map, and a wealth of information on diet, breeding, migration, habitat, and more.

Note that this is a work in progress!  I DO have informational pages for every species (roughly 435) seen in South Dakota.  Birds that have been found in South Dakota are noted with a black "X".  I will continually add new species accounts until I've got all pages for all North American species.  Note I've also personally taken photos of almost 400 North American species.  To look at a photos I have, click on the small camera icon next to the species.
