Check-list of the Birds of Mexico


THE 1060 NUMBERED SPECIES included on the check-list are of regular occurrence on the mainland, offshore islands, and oceanic waters within 200 miles of Mexican territory or halfway to the nearest foreign territory, whichever is closer. Forms ENDEMIC TO MEXICO are shown in boldfaced capitals. The regional endemics shown in lower-case boldface range from Mexico into northern Central America (north of Costa Rica) or the borderlands of the United States. Authority for taxonomy and nomenclature in the present list: IOC World Bird List v6.4 (http://www.worldbirdnames.org/ioc-lists/master-list-2/). Numerous distinctive subspecies — many of which have been proposed at one time or another for elevation to full species status — are shown indented and unnumbered. Among these, taxa consisting of more than one subspecies are labeled “Group” on the check-list. Common names of subspecies are provided for convenience only. We have tried to use prevailing names whenever possible; however, some are unsubstantiated placeholders of our own devising. An additional 84 species that occur only as accidental visitors, or appear to be extirpated from Mexico, or are considered to be extinct in the wild, are listed below.
