This list of birds of Florida includes species documented in the U.S. state of Florida and accepted by the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC). As of November 2022, there were 539 species included in the official list.[1] Of them, 168 species and eight identifiable subspecies are classed as accidental, 18 have been introduced to North America, four are extinct, and one has been extirpated. More than 100 "verifiable...exotic species [are] found free-flying in the wild" according to the FOSRC. Additional accidental, extirpated and recently extinct species have been added from other sources. Five hypothetical species have been also added from another source.
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 status codes have been used to annotate some species:
(A) Accidental – a species that occurs rarely or accidentally in Florida, and for which the FOSRC requests a full report for verification
(I) Introduced – a species that has been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly, and has become established in Florida
(E) Extinct – a recent bird that no longer exists
(e) Extirpated – a species that is no longer in Florida, but exists elsewhere
