Useful Links

It is difficult to keep a collection of links to other people's web sites up to date, and I harbor no illusions that everything listed here is still functional. I will continue to confirm/update/delete links listed here, but don't be surprised or frustrated if you encounter dead connections.

You can assist me by reporting any dead links in this list, or by suggesting useful links that I may not know about. Just send me email.

Report a dead link

There are an overwhelming number of birding links by state or region, and they change frequently. Other site do a much better job of acting as a clearing house, and my favorite is Birdingonthe.Net (Jack Siler). It is where I always start when I want to find local expertise and contacts in an unfamiliar area.
