Mega Links Pages
The links below are resource pages… websites with lots of links to other birding websites or to information sources for ornithologists or about individual species of birds. They are a great place to visit and to start your search… especially those that have a special angle. Like Fatbirder many of these sites carry links to the rest of the world… none of us can be truly comprehensive as websites come and go daily, but, if you can’t find what you are after on Fatbirder you may find it through one of the sites listed below. If anyone knows of other really large links sites like these, as always, mail the Fatbirder with details. Beware that not all such sites keep their information as up-to-date as Fatbirder does... I also find it a tad frustrating when some sites turn out to be no more than hard to navigate search engines! |

Endangered Species International
WebsiteEndangered Species International (ESI) is strongly committed to reversing the trend of human-induced species extinction, save endangered species, and preserving their vital ecosystems. We have projects worldwide to protect endangered species, and save biodiversity. We also support the use of solar energy in our projects...
Awesome Guide to the Best Bird, Birdwatching, and Birding Sites on the Internet
WebsiteTrouble is it isn`t either awesome or a guide to the best - more a one man show with a few of his favourite sites...
Bird Bytes: Bird Taxonomy for Birders
WebsiteThis is the top (root) page to my web pages on birds and birding, both in the Netherlands and further afield. I try my best to keep the information contained as up-to-date as possible, but work and family life usually take priority, as well as birding itself obviously...
Bird Links to the World (Quebec)
WebsiteA huge list of links and a great place to start looking for info… if its not on Fatbirder already. One of the top five sites in terms of the number of links they have to other sites… Fatbirder recommended.
Bird Web
WebsiteThis web site was created in 1990 to provide a free service to birdwatchers living in and visiting Scotland, and is gradually metamorphosing to cover all forms of wildlife from the north-east of Scotland.
Birder.com
WebsiteAnother really excellent resource for virtual birders with a bookshop (up to 30% discount) and lots and lots of information including check lists for every North American state and province. Naturally biased toward North America but none the worse for that. Nicely presented but not easy to surf around unless you know where you want to go.
Birding Hotspots around the World
WebsiteThese links go directly to information on specific birding hotspots around the world, local site guides, etc. Although these links can`t replace knowing a fellow birder in the location you`re going to, they can certainly help! This enthusiastic individual has constructed one of the top five birding websites in the world! Fatbirder recommended… in fact its probably my favourite site… apart from Fatbirder of course!
Birdingonethe.net
WebsiteMega links to all sorts of world wide goodies.
BIRDNET
WebsiteBIRDNET provides information for and about ornithology, the scientific study of birds. The site serves professional ornithologists and the general public. BIRDNET is provided by the Ornithological Council, a public information organization established and supported by eleven Western Hemisphere ornithological societies.
Electronic Resources on Ornithology
WebsiteAnother rich site aimed more to ornithologists than “mere” birders like me.
Good Birding
WebsiteCommercial and non-commercial resources.
Neornithes
WebsiteLiving Birds of the World - Where Ornithology has a name... in your home and in your Personal Computer! All the known living Species and Subspecies and much more... By Alberto Masi. A Data Bank of the living and known birds of the world, structured according to the conventional classification system. It enables the retrieval of a wide range of information from the taxonomic hierarchy: Order, Family, Genus, Specie and Subspecie, and makes provision for retrieval other classifications such as common names (English and Italian); geographical distribution of species and subspecies, the taxonomic notes and the european species and the world numbers (w.n.) according to the numerical system used by the American Ornithologist Union.
Palles Birdlink.dk.
WebsiteDanish site with lots of (mostly Scandinavian) bird links.
Peterson On-Line
WebsiteThis is one of the top ten sites in terms of the range of its links to other birding sites.
Toolady Birding Seach Engine
WebsiteCalls itself The Complete Birding Community...
WorldTwitch
WebsiteWelcome to WORLDTWITCH - a site for world birders. Since there are many websites covering birds and birding in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, Worldtwitch excludes those regions from routine coverage. It is of course impossible to provide comprehensive information about birding in the rest of the world. My goal is modest -- to publish or link to useful information about world birding that is difficult to find. I have not attempted to duplicate the detailed reports in the publications of the Oriental, Neotropical and African Bird Clubs or the Ornithological Society of the Middle East and indeed highly recommend that readers join and support those fine organizations.
