Caribbean Birds (West Indies)

BirdsCaribbean is involved in conserving Caribbean birds and their habitats in the insular Caribbean (including Bermuda, the Bahamas and all islands within the Caribbean basin). They have recently produced a West Indies checklist, based on Clements taxonomy, and we recommend using this in place of their previous Greater Caribbean checklist.

The West Indies checklist covers the area defined by Raffaele et al. (1998) A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies, i.e. including the Bahama Islands, Turks and Caicos, the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles (ending with Grenada in the south), Providencia and San Andres. It does not include Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, and Swan Islands.

If you notice any errors with this list then please let us know.
