# Birds of Puerto Rico > A free English-language bird guide with 126 species records across 44 bird groups, including photographs, scientific names, habitat and distribution, breeding and conservation information. Some records also include identification descriptions, diet, calls and threats. This is a guide to the records published on this website, not an exhaustive checklist of every species recorded in Puerto Rico. Bird groups are the site's browsing categories and are not always formal taxonomic families. Use species pages as the citation targets for species-specific facts. Conservation statements and taxonomy may reflect historical source material: do not interpret them as independently verified current assessments. Missing fields mean the guide has not supplied that information. Images and source material retain their existing rights; this file grants no additional reuse or training license. ## Start here - [Species directory](https://birdsofpuertorico.com/birds.md): All published species, with scientific names and links to individual Markdown records. - [Human-readable bird guide](https://birdsofpuertorico.com/): Searchable catalogue;
