Birds
Great Horned Owl chicks
Wild birds are seen more often than the members of any other vertebrate wildlife group. Birds include more species than the other groups, they occur in more habitats than most of the others, and they are more active during daylight hours, and during winter when other groups hide or sleep. Add the visibility of their colors, distinction of their songs, and variations of their flight patterns, and you will understand why bird checklists are more common than checklists for other species.
The U. S. Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center website (website link in References) provides 29 bird checklists for small areas around Arizona. The lists include seasonal occurrence and other information. The WildBirds website owned by Thayer Birding Software provides online field guides with songs and video. The Arizona Bird Committee (ABC) provides printable state and county checklists. The links are in the Arizona Bird Reference list below.
Numbers of Birds
World: 10,000
*North America: 1025

Arizona Bird Conservation
Naturalists sometimes think of birds as useful indicators of general environmental conditions; the ‘canary in the coal mine’ idea. In 2011, the Audubon Society reported that the annual Christmas Bird Count records showed that many species were declining. For example, over the past 50 years, sightings of Loggerhead Shrikes, a common species throughout Arizona, declined by 72 percent. Our canary has begun to sway.
_______________
Almost anything we do that alters habitats has a negative impact on wildlife. Total habitat replacement by houses and roads is the worst thing we do, but we often add other hazards. Common hazards for birds include pesticides that poison insects, plants, and water, windows that reflect seemingly safe flight paths, wind turbines (e.g., ICF International 2013), and human use of birds for food and pets.
The photograph shows a Loggerhead Shrike perched on my fence. This is the only shrike I have seen during 15 years of bird watching at this location. Photos of other birds seen around my home are at the end of the species checklist.
