The vast majority of North America comprises the entirety of the Nearctic realm with small slivers in Mexico and south Florida being classified in the Neotropical realm. From a birding perspective, North America can be separated into what are known as the four major flyways: The Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific. To simplify things further we view these as East, West, and Central regions. These regions contain incredible diversity of ecoregions and climates within them including massive forests, mountains, deserts, oceans, lakes, grasslands, and shrublands. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, we offer bird watching tours throughout the continental United States including Maine, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Arizona, and California!
According to the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) taxonomy, version 11.2, the North American bird list stands at an impressive 2,313 species. However, once the Caribbean and Central America (including Mexico) are removed, that number for the USA and Canada drops to a more modest 1,252 species. While certainly not the most avian rich region (it’s about quality rather than quantity, think about all the American warblers and alcids including three puffin species!), North America still offers numerous incredible birds, mammals, and scenic views for all travelers to enjoy.
