This page is for you!<\/p>\n

This article shows you photos and identification of some of the most common birds in Arizona based on color.<\/b><\/p>\n

The list of birds found in Arizona includes over 565 species. So, I can’t show you all of them. I’m going to assume that you saw a common bird of this color, but you certainly could have seen something less common, or even rare!<\/p>\n

Shape (including the shape of the bill) and size are often more helpful in starting to identify a bird than the color. In fact, most birds in North American can be easily identified with a black-and-white photo!<\/p>\n

Many birds are multi-colored, so that it may be hard to pick out a dominant color. Males and females may be colored quite differently. And some color patterns are similar among otherwise dissimilar species.<\/p>\n
