Species List
Which birds are found here?
A good way to find out which birds you're likely to see in a
particular area (state/province or region) is to take a look at the
eBird month report. After choosing the month and location you will get
a series of tables. All show the presence or absence of species
throughout that month, as well as more specific data for that location.
Frequency tables from eBird summary reports (see table at right) show
the percentage of checklists reporting each bird species for each
five-day segment of the month.
Frequency is an indication of how likely it is that you will see
various species during a given time period. For instance, scanning down
the columns, you can determine which species you are likely to see in
California throughout the month of May.
Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) data also provide a snapshot of what
species can be found in each state/province or region in February.
The table at right shows results from the 2002 GBBC. The column on the
left is the number of GBBC reports that included each bird species, and
gives us an indication of which birds are most common in California in
February (such as Mourning Dove, House Finch, Western Scrub-Jay).
The second column (Number of Birds) indicates which species were most
numerous in California for the 2002 count (such as House Finch,
American Robin, American Crow).
