Birds in Accidentals
A chance to go birdwatching in fiction…
Here’s a list of all the birds in Accidentals–except, of course, the main avian protagonist. The links lead to ebird reports, with illustrations and recordings of the songs and calls.
Species are listed in order of first appearance. The Spanish and English common names are taken from Guia Para la Identificacion de las Aves de Arentina y Uruguay (by Tito Narosky and Dario Yzurieta, 15th Ed. 2003) and may differ from those used on ebird; scientific names are given in (); the name listed first is the one mentioned first in the text. English names of the North American birds are those in common use the 1980s-90s.
