Bird Lists
“When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!” — William Blake
To list or not to list — this is a question that every birder must answer sooner or later. Here at 10,000 Birds, we are definitely listers. Birders maintain bird lists for a variety of reasons, most of which we explore through this website. For examples, we explore the concept of twitching here, delve into the perilous thrills of Big Listing here, and analyze why birds are the perfect organisms to tick here.
You can learn a lot about a birder’s travels (and depth of madness) by reviewing his assorted lists. Here are ours, maintained, for the most part, in accordance with the American Birding Association Recording Rules.
