Learn About Species Accounts

Several dedicated ornithologists and birders across the state have shared their expertise to draft species and taxa accounts for the atlas. The Florida Breeding Bird Atlas II is a work in progress with new accounts published weekly. All 206 accounts will be published by the end of 2023.

 Readers can browse accounts by Orders and Families from the Species Accounts tab. Each account includes a summary of breeding behavior, maps illustrating sightings, and other points of data. Most accounts also include photographs from Florida-based birders, as well as a line-drawing from artist Diane Pierce.
