Checklist of Florida's Birds
Download and print the checklist
Last revised in 2009, the Checklist of Florida's Birds contains 503 bird species including:
- 486 native Florida birds and accidentals
- 13 established nonnatives
- 4 native species now considered extinct in Florida
All species in the checklist include birds for which there is at least one "verified" Florida record. Verified records are photos, specimens or voice recordings of birds that have been reviewed and accepted by the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC). Accidentals, birds that stray into Florida (without human assistance) from other parts of the United States, the Caribbean or other countries, are countable towards WOF certificates. Please note that no other nonnative species may be counted towards Wings Over Florida certificates.
