Birds

Browse by family

68 families, grouped by the family name the work itself recorded for each bird. Names are shown exactly as recovered.

A modern addition

The original CD-ROM had no taxonomic browse. Its species list was a flat list scoped to whichever checklist was active. This grouping is provided by this website for convenience, using the family recorded against each bird in the work's own data. It is not a feature of the discs, and it is not a modern taxonomy: some family strings carry defects from the original mastering and are shown as they survive.
