The guardabarranco (turquoise-browed motmot) is Nicaragua's national bird.
This is a list of the bird species recorded in Nicaragua. The avifauna of Nicaragua included a total of 788 species as of May 2023, according to Bird Checklists of the World.[1] Of them, 142 are rare or accidental and five have been introduced by humans. None are endemic. 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 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 Nicaragua 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 Nicaragua
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Nicaragua as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
