    ....Potential Prince Edward Island IBAs - This is a working list and 
      map of potential Important Bird Areas in Prince Edward Island. The process of identifying IBAs in this region is by no means complete. Additional sites that qualify as IBAs will likely be identified and likewise, some of the sites mapped may not qualify as IBAs once a thorough evaluation is completed. Once a site has been formally identified as an IBA the site name is linked to a one-page site summary. No sites confirmed as yet.

North American Specialities in

Prince Edward Island

Information derived from Sibley & Monroe checklists in Thayer's Birder's Diary - Version 2.02.
These counts will differ in minor ways from counts based on the ABA classification,
but an international checklist system was required to enable world-wide
country to country comparisons.These speciality birds may be uncommon, or extremely rare
at this location, or may only be present in migration. However, documented sightings of
each species noted below have been made in Prince Edward Island. Consult the
Breeding Bird Survey or Christmas Bird Count data on the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center website
to determine the "best" place to see each bird.
