Tour: World bird database
Birdstack is powered by WorldBirdNames.org (the Gill and Wright list or IOC list). Name changes and taxonomic updates are automatically tracked and integrated into your lists. Birdstack guides you through the process of reconciling your observations with splits and lumps as they occur. You no longer have to wonder whether your list is up-to-date or how you're going to figure out all the latest changes. Birdstack is here to help.
The Birdstack database contains not only all of the information from the IOC list (names, taxonomy, basic ranges, etc.) but also a collection of alternate names and ambiguous name notifications. Name usage differs around the world, over time, and from author to author, but Birdstack's community-driven database system will help you figure out what's what.
