Where does the bird data come from?

Public, license-clean records from GBIF, the IOC World Bird List, USGS, and iNaturalist.

Does it work outside the US?

Yes. Every US state, plus countries, continents, and a global list — anywhere with bird occurrence records.

A birding tradition: count how many species you can see in one place over a calendar year. The same approach works for a Big Day, Big Week, or Big Month.

Can I customize my checklist?

Big Year Bird Checklist for Florida

A free printable Florida bird checklist. Pick your goal, get the PDF.

Florida's checklist is loaded with species found nowhere else in the US. South Florida's Caribbean strays and the state's lone endemic make it a big-year destination in its own right.

The tool builds you a printable checklist of every bird realistically possible in Florida, grouped by family, with seasonal markers and a space to log the date you spot each one. It's drawn from public, license-clean records — not a generic national list, but the species that actually occur where you're birding.

Pick Florida (or any area inside it), choose your goal — Big Day, Big Month, Big Year, or a life list — and download the PDF. Free, no account, no email. Print it, fold it in a field guide, and start checking birds off.

What you'll find on a Florida checklist

A Florida checklist mixes widespread residents with the specialties that make the state worth a big year. A few you'll want to target:
