Birds of the World
These pages contain Lee’s Birds of the World, based on the IOC World Bird List 8.1 contains 10,699 extant species (and 158 extinct species) classified in 40 Orders, 247 Families (plus 1 Incertae Sedis) and 2,312 Genera. The list also includes 20,060 subspecies.
All the ORDERs and the Families are listed. Please enjoy looking around at the references to the numerous birds that the Lord has created.
All the Indexes are now up to date and it makes it easier to find them with the Alphabetical List of the Birds. (The use of your “Search” or “Find” on your browser is very useful on long lists. “Control + F” is the shortcut for Find. I use it quite frequently.)
So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. (Genesis 1:21-22 NKJV)
