Bird Lists

I'm getting close to having a species profile page for every bird on the list, but there are still some new birds that need to be added too, especially after I've discovered the variety of species at the VA (Veteran's Affairs) Center and the L.A. National Cemetery (just west of Veteran Ave.).  I've been trying to only make a profile page once I've gotten photos of that bird, and there are only nine six known birds left that I've yet to photograph (Band-Tailed Pigeon (most wanted), Black-headed Grosbeak (most wanted), Bullock’s Oriole (most wanted), Oak Titmouse [recently got some from Holmby Park east of campus], Rufous Hummingbird [Bobby Walsh found a male one in the Botanical Garden and I bagged some shots of him], Sharp-Shinned Hawk, Tree Swallow, White-crowned Sparrow [have some usable pics from down near Culver City, but ones on campus would be nicer], and Yellow Warbler). I also plan to have at least three more choices for list viewing: "By Location," "By Color," "Taxonomically," and "Native vs. Non-Native."  If you've seen a bird that you're really stuck on identifying, and cruising the lists here doesn't do it, you might try Whatbird.com for a different approach to IDing that could be helpful.  Oh, and remember: I gladly welcome anyone to submit photos of their own (which I will post and give credit for), and/or share bird sightings/questions.  Just head over to the forum.  Here are the bird list options we currently have here: Alphabetical by Common Name - with Thumbnails! Alphabetical by Common Name - text only By Commonality By Size By Seasonality Plus: Ongoing Reports of birds sightings on/near campus UCLA Campus Bird Count!  (2/12/06) BONUS BIRDS! (more birds you can see at the VA Center, coming soon!) Download a free PDF Guide to Common Birds of the UCLA Campus with full color illustrations and profiles of the most common birds on campus.  This was made with Whatbird.com's excellent Make-a-Guide tool.  The last few pages have promotional reviews of bird feeders which are inserted by Whatbird and which Birds of Westwood neither approves nor disapproves.
