Identification of North American birds and trees
I’ve just posted a complete list of French names for North American birds. This is the first step towards adding French names to the eGuide. Please let me know of any corrections. Thanks!

Hi
Is there an update for the Android Sibley Guide that allows the choice of English or French identification.
Like your guides -both books and digital

Hi Herb,
Thanks. The developers are working on bringing the latest updates to the Android version. That should be ready soon.

Hi David
Thanks, will keep a eye out for the update. Having both English and French available while on field trips is really valuable. I don’t always carry a book with me, and usually it is the wrong one (that is English).
All the Best

Hi, David,
I was given a lovely print “nos bons petits Oiseaux”, Histoire Naurelle, Pl. 127. It looks like 19th century work. I’ve been able to find almost all of the birds shown there in your french birds list. Thanks! I cannot find “Le Niverau” in the list nor on Google. It looks something like a painted bunting in flight. I’ll be grateful for any help.
All the best, Jim Monson

Hi Jim,
don’t know whether you’re still looking for the ‘nivereau’? It is an old French name for what is now called ‘niverolle alpine’, which stands for the White-winged Snowfinch (Montifringilla nivalis). Like many of the bird drawings on this print, it doesn’t look anything like the real bird 🙂 But nevertheless, I also love the print (of which I also received a copy) because of it’s historical character, and have just framed it and gave it a place on one of my walls. Just like you, I was looking for a translation of the French bird names, and by googling I ended up finding your question.
Cheers,
Kelle Moreau, Belgium
