Bird Life List

Keeping a bird life life list enhances travel in so many ways. For me, birding teaches biology, distribution and geography, and it also pushes me to find new places and habitats on the road.

As of the Wrentit, my bird life list includes 814 species, or about 8 percent of the species in the world. My Bird Life List is alphabetical, and includes photos throughout.
