The following list of birds of New York includes the 494 species and a species pair of wild birds documented in New York as of July 2020. Unless noted otherwise, the source is the Checklist of New York State Birds published by the New York State Avian Records Committee (NYSARC) of the New York State Ornithological Association.[10] These species represent 23 orders and 67 families of birds. An additional, "hypothetical", species is also noted by NYSARC.
This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 61st Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[11] 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 New York as permanent residents, summer/winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
- (B) Breeding - a species that currently breeds or has bred in New York (248 species)
- (†) Extinct - a species that used to live in what is now New York but is now extinct (2 or 3 species)
- (E) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in New York, but populations exist elsewhere (2 species)
- (I) Introduced - a population established solely as result of direct or indirect human intervention; synonymous with non-native and non-indigenous (8 species)
- (IE) - an introduced population existed but is now extirpated (2 species)
- (H) Hypothetical - a species with sight records but no description, specimen, or photograph (1 species)
Other markings denote birds that NYSARC requests documentation of in certain conditions:
- (N) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen anywhere in New York (153 species)
- (U) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen in upstate New York (30 species)
- (D) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen in downstate New York (4 species)
- (A) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen outside the Adirondacks (3 species)
- (P) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen outside of the pelagic zone (between 3 and 200 miles from shore) but within New York State. (4 species)
- (S) - documentation of this species should be submitted if seen in New York in spring (3 species)

Order: Charadriiformes Family: Stercorariidae
Skuas and jaegers are long-distant migrants, breeding on the high arctic tundra but flying as far as Antarctica.

- Pomarine jaeger, Stercorarius pomarinus (N)
Auks, murres, and puffins

Order: Gaviiformes Family: Gaviidae
Loons are aquatic birds the size of large ducks, which they superficially resemble. Their plumage is largely gray or black, and they have spear-shaped bills. Loons swim well and fly adequately, but, because their legs are placed towards the rear of the body, are not well adapted to locomotion on land. Three species have been recorded in New York.
- Red-throated loon, Gavia stellata
- Pacific loon, Gavia pacifica (N)
- Common loon, Gavia immer
Southern storm-petrels
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Whitefacedstormpetrel1.jpg/220px-Whitefacedstormpetrel1.jpg)
