Discover Birding by State

Click on your state to view birding information.

The United States is a large country, with terrain, climate, and habitat that varies greatly from region to region.  We've all seen those North American birding guides ... but do you really want to sort through descriptions of a bunch of birds that you'll never see in your state? 

The purpose behind this site is to make it easy for you to find information about the birds you're likely to see where you live or in an area that you'll be visiting.  You'll find bird lists, state and regional birding guides, bird watching areas, and regional bird watching organizations. 

There are links at the bottom on this page to a few bird identification guides that break the country down into several regions.  These are a good start and everyone should have one of these in their library, but the state guides you'll find on each state page will likely provide more specific information about the birds' ranges and habitats, as well as provide tips on the best places to see them.

Looking for State Bird Information? We have it.  Just click on the state and you'll find the state bird along with other bird watching information.
