New South Wales is a state in Australia of great biodiversity, with 622 species of bird recorded.. This list is based on the 1996 classification by Charles Sibley and Burt Monroe (though there has been a recent (2008) extensive revision of Australian birds by Leslie Christidis and Walter E. Boles [1]), which has resulted in some lumping and splitting. [2]
The idea of an Australian bird atlas based on data collected by volunteer observers (atlassers) was first mooted in 1972. Because of the daunting scale of the task, however, to test feasibility, a pilot atlas was carried out on the southern coast of New South Wales from March 1973 to September 1974 with 168 volunteers covering an area of 13,600 square kilometres.

The book uses the IOC version 5.4 for species level taxonomy. [4] These birds are grouped as marine and coastal birds, freshwater birds and terrestrial birds and then taxonomically. It also provides detailed maps indicating where a species or sub-species are likely to occur and shading to help identify where the birds are most likely to occur.

This family of flightless ratite birds is represented by two living species in Australia. Another two species are found in New Guinea. The extinct, geographically isolated King and Kangaroo Island emus were historically considered to be separate species to mainland emus. However, genetic evidence from 2011 suggests that all three are conspecific.

In the first national bird atlas in 1977–81, the little eagle was reported in 65% of one degree grid cells across Australia, with mostly high reporting rates (more than 40% of surveys per grid) across New South Wales and Victoria. Breeding was recorded in 11% of cells, with the highest rates in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria. [13]
