Heard-only List

Welcome to my heard-only birding page. The goal of this list is for me to whittle down to be as small as possible. I love hearing birds, but I'd always prefer the whole package that includes a view, even if it's only a brief one.

Note that a couple birds have been seen, but just not in one of the areas I care about - the Rufous-capped Warbler is a good example. I saw it several times in Costa Rica (AOU area), but only heard it in Arizona (ABA area).
