The northern mockingbird is the state bird of Mississippi.
This list of birds of Mississippi contains species credibly documented in the U.S. state of Mississippi, as accepted by the Mississippi Ornithological
Society Bird Records Committee (MBRC). As of March 2018, there were 426 species on the official list.[1] Of them, 22 are classed as casual as defined below, 90 are classed as accidental, and four were introduced to North America. Two species are extinct; two others are considered extirpated by the MBRC and might also be extinct. An additional accidental species has 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 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.
Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in Mississippi as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags have been used to annotate some species:
(Ca) Casual - a species "generally occurring in four to eight years during a ten year period" per the MBRC
(A) Accidental - a species "generally occurring three or fewer years during a ten year period" per the MBRC
(I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to Mississippi by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
(E) Extirpated - a species no longer found in Mississippi though populations exist elsewhere
(Ext) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists
