I recently asked ChatGPT some questions about the best birding locations in the United States and the results were decidedly mixed. How many birders are there in the United States? # # # Query: What is birding? Birders often keep lists of the bird species they have observed, such as a life list or a year list.

One of the reasons Mexico is such a great birding area is that, while it shares all sorts of bird groups with the United States and Canada, it also is home to some of the northernmost representatives of neotropical and genera that do not (or just barely) reach that far north, such as Woodcreepers, Tityras, and Trogons.

The Hawaii vote made it clear that that the ABA Area is about political borders, not geographical or ecological ones, and the two Caribbean territories have long been part of the United States. The absence of the Caribbean means that ABA Area—and the ABA—excludes important aspects of the avian diversity of the United States.
