The Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas is the capstone of the first comprehensive statewide survey of Arizona’s breeding birds. More than 700 surveyors, mainly volunteers, reported a total of 376 bird species during the 1993-2000 field seasons. Of those species, 283 were confirmed as breeding and 18 additional species were suspected of potentially nesting in the state during the atlas survey period.
