Full list of birds seen in the area

This list is divided into a number of groups I developed to make sense to less experienced birders.  Within the groups it is ordered according to the taxonomic order used in 2011 by the Canberra Ornithologists Group to bring birds that are closely related together. Birds that are migrants to Carwoola are highlighted in blue (for species which migrate out of the area in Summer) or orange (for species which migrate out for Winter) below.

The hyperlinks (ie underlined stuff) are to photographs of the 89 species elsewhere in this blog.In due course I hope to link every species name to one or more images thereof. 

The list will be updated as new species are added to the sightings in the area.
