Lots of help was required by several Arizona birders, friends, the published Arizona bird records committee reports, and numerous other references to put together this list of Arizona birds by county. I have tried to be as accurate and careful with the data as is reasonable, but like any project of this nature mistakes will happen. In the end it is entirely my responsibility to avoid mistakes or omissions.
I call this the "Unofficial County Bird List Page" because this is NOT a peer-reviewed site and the contents are entirely at my discretion. For an Official List of Arizona's birds see the Arizona Bird Committee Website
The list of Arizona birds included on these pages is derived directly from the comprehensive work of the Arizona Bird Committee, there generosity in making the records accessible is greatly appreciated.
I thank the following individuals for their help and insights into specific counties.
