Nature Saskatchewan has published an updated checklist of Saskatchewan birds. The checklist includes 440 species of birds recorded in the province. There are 385 species that have been confirmed by a specimen, photograph or sound recording. Another 55 hypothetical species, lacking similar evidence, are listed separately. The checklist is available for download as a pdf file from the Nature Saskatchewan web site.

This checklist was compiled by Craig Salisbury, Anna Leighton and Mike Gollop, and contains 82 species of butterflies known to be present in the Saskatoon Birding Area (see Saskatoon Area Birds – A Seasonal Checklist map for area boundaries). Common and scientific names are provided for each species, along with the ‘banding’ code, flight period and abundance. The information provided in this checklist was extracted from Saskatchewan Butterflies – An Annotated Field Checklist (1999) by Bernie Gollop and Ron Hooper, Saskatchewan Butterflies (1998-2003), compiled by Anna Leighton, and from the field notes of local butterfly enthusiasts.
