The list of birds of Texas is the official list of species recorded in the U.S. state of Texas according to the Texas Bird Records Committee (TBRC) of the Texas Ornithological Society. As of January 2024, the list contained 664 species.[1] Of them, 170 are considered review species. Eight species were introduced to Texas, two are known to be extinct and another is thought to be, and a fourth is extirpated and possibly extinct. An additional accidental/historical species has been added from another source. Other additional accidental and hypothetical species have been added from different sources.
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, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in Texas as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
(R) Review species- species "for which documentation for review is requested for any record" by the TBRC
(I) Introduced – introduced to Texas by humans, directly or indirectly.
(E) Extinct – species which no longer exist
(RI) Reintroduction in progress - per the TBRC, two species are present but have not been reestablished following earlier extirpation
(u) Uncertain – per the TBRC, two species have "stable to increasing populations of introduced/native origin"
