My Birding Life List
Entry Page (50 per Page) - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
Though it is common terminology among birding enthusiasts, the idea of a so-called "Life List" might not be straightforward to everyone viewing this website. To define it simply, so as not to cause anyone who visits this page to feel left out, a Life List is a written account of all the species of birds one has seen or heard over the course of his/her life. With advances in digital photography, I have decided to add photographs to my species accounts to provide proof of just what I have seen. For my Life List, I only count birds that I have photographed, therefore some birds I have seen in the past are not counted, until I can provide a photograph of one in the wild. For example, I have seen Bobwhites before, but they were so fast, I was never able to photograph them. As such, they do not show up on this list yet. There are around 900 species of birds that can be seen at any point in time in North America (north of Mexico specifically). In summary, this page is my attempt to showcase all of the species that have made it to my list, as well as provide information on each type of bird & a short report of just how the sighting came to be, so I can always remember accurately each of my firsts, please enjoy!
