This list of birds of Arkansas includes species documented in the U.S. state of Arkansas and accepted by the Arkansas Audubon Society (AAS). As of January 2022, there were 424 species included in the official list.[1] Of them, 48 are classed as very rare, four are classed as occasional, 53 are classed as accidental, five have been introduced to North America, three are known to be extinct, and five have been extirpated. An additional accidental species has been added from another source.
Only birds that are considered to have established, self-sustaining, wild populations in Arkansas are included on this list. This means that birds that are considered probable escapees, although they may have been sighted flying free in Arkansas, are not included.
This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 62nd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[2] Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
The following codes are used to designate some species:
(VR) Very rare - "encountered at irregular or infrequent intervals" per the AAS
(O) Occasional - "occasional, 3-4 state records overall with at least 2 records since 1950" per the AAS
(A) Accidental - "1-2 state records" per the AAS
(I) Introduced - Species established in North America as a result of human action
(E) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists
(Ex) Extirpated - a species no longer found in Arkansas but which continues to exist elsewhere
