Catalogue of British Columbia Birds

An annotated, systematic checklist of the bird species recorded in British Columbia, organized by orders and families, presents each species with scientific and common names, occurrence status (resident, winter visitor, breeder), and brief distributional notes. Entries cite localities, specimen records, and observers' contributions, and the preface acknowledges gaps in coverage—especially in the northern and northeastern interior—while thanking field naturalists. Coastal, island and interior avifauna receive separate attention, with abundance and breeding notes interspersed throughout the taxonomic sequence.
