Alaska Species List

The following tables shows the birds and other animals of Alaska. The codes and naming for birds comes from: Peter Pyle & David F. DeSante, The Institute for Bird Populations, English and Scientific Alpha Codes for North American Birds through the 47th AOU Supplement (2006). The Alaska data comes from: D.D. Gibson, S.C. Heinl & T.G. Tobish, Jr. 2008. Checklist of Alaska Birds, 14th edition. University of Alaska Museum, Fairbanks, AK and Dan Gibson & Brad Andres, Checklist of Alaska Birds, Jamestown, ND: Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center Online. (Version 30DEC2002). I no longer remember where the amphibian and mammal data comes from.
