Birds at the Napa-Sonoma Marshes Wildlife Area

This list is a compilation of several studies, over several years. One should be aware that during these many studies observers have changed and not all birds may have been recorded correctly. In addition, the American Ornithological Union periodically changes the names of birds (eg. White-tailed Kite to Black-shouldered Kite) and although every effort has been made to report the correct names, times change. Please consult with a current guidebook for up-to-date nomenclature.
