......Clicking on the photo of many of these birds will take you to a world location where that

bird is considered to be a speciality. Birds are considered to be a

speciality if:

the bird is the national/provincial/state symbol for that location
the location is a major breeding/wintering area for that bird
the bird is endemic to that location, or
if the bird is much easier to find here than in other locations

....
