The Boreal Forest at Risk: A Progress Report

« Previous Page | Table of Contents | Next Page »

NOTE TO READERS

The term "landbird" is used in this report to include vultures, hawks, grouse, doves, cuckoos, owls, nighthawks, swifts, hummingbirds, kingfishers, woodpeckers and passerines (or perching birds, often referred to as songbirds).

The term "family" refers to a group of closely-related species of birds, defined as members of the same family by scientists, in this case by the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU). Examples of landbird families include thrushes (family Turdidae), finches (family Fringillidae) and swallows (family Hirundinidae).

At least one species of 35 out of 40 landbird families in Canada live in the boreal forest (see Appendix B for listing).
