The resplendent quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala.
This is a list of the bird species recorded in Guatemala. The avifauna of Guatemala included a total of 781 species as of June 2023, according to Bird Checklists of the World.[1] Of them, 128 are rare or accidental and five have been introduced by humans. One species (now extinct) was endemic and two non-endemic species have been extirpated. Two additional accidental species have been 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 63rd 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.
Unless otherwise noted, the species on this list are considered to occur regularly in Guatemala as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The tags and notes of population status are from Bird Checklists of the World.
(A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Guatemala
(E) Endemic - a species endemic to Guatemala
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Guatemala as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
