From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This List of North American birds: non-passerines is an enumeration of the non-passerine bird species known from the North American continent north of Mexico. The non-passerines encompass a varied and complex assemblage of avian orders, from the Anseriformes (ducks, geese, and swans) to the Piciformes (woodpeckers, sapsuckers, and flickers).
For an introductory overview of the birdlife of North America, see List of North American birds. To view North American passerines, see the List of North American birds: passerines.
Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in North America as permanent residents, summer or winter residents or visitors, or migrants. The following codes are used to denote certain categories of species:
- (A) = Accidental occurrence based on one or two (rarely more) records, and unlikely to occur regularly.
- (C) = Casual occurrence based on two or a few records, with subsequent records not improbable.
- (E) = Extinct; a recent member of the avifauna that no longer exists.
- (Ex) = Extirpated; no longer occurs in area of interest, but other populations still exist elsewhere.
- (I) = Introduced population established solely as result of direct or indirect human intervention; synonymous with non-native and non-indigenous.
