All Birds of the Contiguous United States (Hard)

Enter the common name of every species of bird found in the US Lower 48. The full common name is required, unless the final word in the name is unique to one species on the list.
Sorted by taxonomic family
I use the list of species provided by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's All About Birds website https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/browse/taxonomy
As with countries, what constitutes a "species" or the criteria for it to be considered established in the United States is subject to constant debate. If you disagree with any quiz content, please leave a comment
