HomeThis page is a collection of general reference links on birds and bird watching. In order to simply convey specific information, I have not always linked to the "home page" of some sites, however I encourage you to "explore" the sites fully. REFERENCES
Some sites, especially the "GORP" site, are slow to load because of incidental images. You may wish to start out with text only and then load images selectively for that site.
Sites may contain commercial content however they bear no commercial endorsement by me.
