Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The North American birds most closely resemble those of Eurasia, which was connected to this continent until geologically recent times. Many groups occur throughout these northern hemisphere continents, although distinctive groups have also arisen, such as the wrens. Several common birds in North America, such as the House Sparrow, the Rock Dove, the European Starling, and the Mute Swan are introduced species, meaning that they are not native to this continent but were brought here by man from Europe or elsewhere. Introduced species are marked on this list as (Introduced). There may be species that have individual escapees or small feral populations in North America that are not on this list. This is especially true of birds that are commonly held as pets such as Parrots and Finches. The definition of the area covered by a list of "North American birds" is somewhat subjective. The original list published by the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) in 1886 covered birds found in North America north of Mexico, Baja California, Bermuda and Greenland. In 1983 the area was expanded to included all of Mexico, Central America south through Panama, the West Indies and the Hawaiian Islands, while Greenland was dropped. This expansion more than doubled the number of birds on the AOU list. Other organizations, such as the American Birding Association (ABA) use a smaller area. The current ABA area includes the 49 continental states, Canada and the French islands St. Pierre and Miquelon, plus surrounding waters. It does not include Greenland, Bermuda, the Bahamas or the Hawaiian Islands. As most field guides for "North American" birds use the ABA area, rather than the more expansive AOU area, this list is based on the ABA checklist. The taxonomic system used for this article is Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, which is the standard for North America. See the discussion page for further taxonomic comment. The birds marked (Accidental) on this list are birds from other parts of the world that are occasionally found in North America, but have not established populations, and are not regular visitors. Not all accidental birds on this list are necessarily marked. A few of the birds on this list were once native to North America, but have become extinct. They are marked as (Extinct). This list includes the non-passerine birds of North America. For the passerines see the List of North American birds: passerines.
