Phoebe Snetsinger saw more than 8,400 species of birds in her lifetime! You don't have to keep a list to enjoy birds, but the variety you see in your own yard might surprise you. Start a list now, and keep track of a year's worth of birds.
If you're lucky, perhaps you'll see a Snowy Owl, like this one. For a checklist of all North American birds, visit AOU.org, the American Ornithologists' Union. In this show, you can hear the Swainson's Thrush and the American Robin.
