Birding History - Taxonomic

Welcome to my birding history page. This page contains the same list as the main page, but it also includes approximate dates and locations of all the sightings.

When no date is listed, it means either I am still trying to track down the date I first identified the bird, or that the bird has so many sightings, or is so frequently seen, that the first ID date is not too important to me.

Species are taxonomically listed (roughly) in accordance with AOU family classifications (in parentheses), to the best of my knowledge.
