Bird Sightings: My Life List





House Wren

This is a list of all the bird species I have identified in my life. If you're interested in a specific bird, whether or not I have photos of it for photo cards, or you want to know about my first sighting of it, leave a comment specifying what it is you would like. Note that the photos I have here are mostly not my best for each species.

The State (or country) where I first saw the species is listed beside each species name.
