Fatbirder is the premier birders’ web resource about birds, birding tours and birdwatching travel. We’ve been around since the internet was barely a baby (1997) and seen website increase exponentially – as well a millions of websites fall by the wayside. In order to thrive, we spend vast amounts of time checking, tweaking and improving what is offered FREE to all birders everywhere.

Whether you are looking for facts about hummingbirds, songbirds, shorebirds or raptors in your backyard or are planning a trip or birding holiday anywhere in the world, Fatbirder is the site for you.

There are tens of thousands of links on two thousand pages about birding everywhere; a page for every country & state & every bird family.

Fatbirder

The World’s Richest
Information Resource
For Birds & Birding
For Birders

It’s all here from RSPB wildlife reserves or Audubon bird sanctuaries to the best bird watching binoculars and spotting scopes. There are page sections on books, guides, forums, reserves, accommodation, trip report, bird clubs and more as well as pages on topics such as ornithology, twitching, endangered species, conservation, equipment, pelagics, birding holidays and much more.

Fatbirder benefits hugely from the contributions of birders, photographers, ornithologists and birdwatchers from all over the world. Local birders wrote most country and state introductions, and Fatbirder users took most of the photographs featured. As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions.
