Birds by State

Birds in the United States don’t live the same way everywhere and that’s what makes birdwatching so interesting. From coastal wetlands to deserts, forests, mountains, and backyards, each state supports its own mix of bird species based on climate, habitat, and seasonal migration patterns.

This Birds by State guide helps you explore which birds are commonly found in each U.S. state, whether you’re trying to identify a bird in your backyard, planning a birding trip, or simply curious about the wildlife around you. Instead of guessing, you can jump straight to your state and see what birds actually live there throughout the year.
