Division of Bird Habitat Conservation

The following list of nearctic and neotropical migrants contains 341 species of birds, all or part of whose populations breed north of the Tropic of Cancer and winter south of that line (Rappole, J. H. 1995. The Ecology of Migrant Birds: A Neotropical Perspective. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D. C. pages 173-182). English and scientific names follow the taxonomy of the American Ornithologists’ Union’s Checklist of North American Birds (American Ornithologists’ Union. 1998. The A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds, seventh edition. American Ornithologists’ Union and Allen Press, Inc., Lawrence, Kansas. 829 pages and supplements 42-49.) A bird with an asterisk is a US Fish and Wildlife Service Bird of Conservation Concern (2008). Endangered species are labeled with an E.
