Where does the bird data come from?

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

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 Nevada

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

Nevada's checklist is a Great Basin affair. Sagebrush seas, isolated mountain ranges, and migrant-magnet desert oases carry the list.

The tool builds you a printable checklist of every bird realistically possible in Nevada, 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 Nevada (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 Nevada checklist

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