The BirdNUTZ Checklist I've prepared a checklist that covers most of the birds you might expect to see in California. In order to make a checklist that fits on two sides of a standard letter-sized sheet, and to still have readable type, I've had to make some choices about what to keep and what to leave out. The checklist is not intended to be a complete list of all the birds seen in California. I've excluded most southern desert species and other species whose range barely includes parts of California. Some regular vagrants are included and the rare ones are excluded. The exclusions may seem arbitrary to your birding style. This is the challenge of a "one-size-fits-all" solution. The checklist is intended to be a useful tool for field-use to reduce the amount of time that it might take you to record a sighting for a trip. There are blanks at the end of the checklist for that special rarity that you might have been lucky enough to see. To conserve paper, you should print or copy the two pages back to back, orienting the top of each side to the same edge. Then, using the dotted lines, fold the sheet in a zig-zag, or accordion-fold, manner. This makes the whole checklist much smaller while keeping all of the listed species quickly accessible. You can even fold it in half, perpendicular to the other folds, to slip it into a pocket. I hope you find the checklist useful. To download a copy (a PDF file), click
