Local Bird Checklists

We’ve put together these bird checklists for Flagler County. Use them anytime you visit the parks/trails, on a Flagler Audubon walk, or even in your backyard! Flagler County has 304 species recorded on eBird, but these lists start with the most common - and most easy-to-find - in our county.

  • Bird Photo List - 30 easier-to-find species plus a resource list for beginning birders. (Finished it? Get the 25-birds certificate from Wings Over Florida.) All photos from eBird.org contributors (insets: juvenile bald eagle by Cesar Ponce, osprey by Brad Imhoff, female northern cardinal by Brad Imhoff, wood stork by Gates Dupont, juvenile little blue heron by Zak Pohlen, juvenile white ibis by Anne Inga, belted kingfisher by Shawn Cooper)

  • Bird Checklist - 68 common species (including the ones from the above photo list) with notes on sounds, time of year, etc. (Finished it, or getting close? Get the 50-birds certificate from Wings Over Florida.)

  • Want more? Here's the full list of birds found in Florida from the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. You can get Wings Over Florida certificates for 100, 200, 300, & 400 species!
