List of Species on the Mountain West Birds CD-ROM, Checklist Order

474 species. Species in Bold Type are "reliably" found in the Mountain West Ecoregion and have photos, video clips, sounds, and range maps (P = Picture, A = Audio, V = Video.) Species in Plain Text are not "reliably found" in the Mountain West, but a map is provided to show specific locations where they occur and habitat information. Species that are not "reliably found" in the Mountain West are designated as such because the Mountain West is generally not depicted as part of their "normal range" in field guides. Therefore, the CD provides information about the extended ranges for these species.
