# AviBirds

> AviBirds is a bird identification and discovery platform. Its guides are organised the way birds are actually encountered: by location (which species realistically occur in a given state, province or region) and by visual clues (colour, pattern, size impression) for when the name is unknown. Coverage spans the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Africa, written and reviewed by birders, wildlife photographers and ornithologists.

Each guide gives field-ready identification notes — plumage features, vocalisations, behaviour and flight style — alongside original photography with photographer credits.
