List of birds of Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The northern mockingbird is the state bird of Florida
This list of birds of Florida includes species documented in the U.S. state of Florida and accepted by the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC). As of August 2013, there were 515 species included in the official list.[1] Subsequent decisions by the FOSRC deleted one species and added six more, resulting in an official list total of 520 as of August 2015.[2][3] Of the 520, 121 species and three identifable subspecies are classed as accidental, 16 have been introduced to North America, three are extinct, and one has been extirpated. An additional 127 "verifiable...exotic species [are] found free-flying in the wild" according to the FOSRC.
This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North American Birds, 7th edition through the 58th Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[4][5] Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list.
The following status codes have been used to annotate some species:
(A) Accidental - a species that occurs rarely or accidentally in Florida, and for which the FOSRC requests a full report for verification
(I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
(E) Extinct - a recent bird that no longer exists
(e) Extirpated - a species that is no longer in Florida, but exists elsewhere

Limpkin, Aramus guarauna
Cranes[edit]
Sandhill crane
Order: Gruiformes Family: Gruidae
Cranes are large, tall birds with long legs and long necks. Unlike the similar-looking but un-related herons, cranes fly with necks extended. Most have elaborate and noisy courtship displays or "dances". When in a group, they may also "dance" for no particular reason, jumping up and down in an elegant manner, seemingly just for pleasure or to attract a mate.

Wood stork, Mycteria americana
Frigatebirds[edit]
Order: Suliformes Family: Fregatidae
Frigatebirds are large seabirds usually found over tropical oceans. They are large, black, or black-and-white, with long wings and deeply forked tails. The males have colored inflatable throat pouches. They do not swim or walk and cannot take off from a flat surface. Having the largest wingspan-to-body-weight ratio of any bird, they are essentially aerial, able to stay aloft for more than a week.

Brown pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis
Bitterns, herons, and egrets[edit]
Cattle egret
Order: Pelicaniformes Family: Ardeidae
The family Ardeidae contains the herons, egrets, and bitterns. Herons and egrets are wading birds with long necks and legs. Herons are large and egrets are smaller. The cattle egret or "cow bird" is seen amongst flocks of cattle, for instance in ranches north of the Everglades. A bird will often attach itself to a particular bull, cow or calf, even being tolerated perching on the back or even the head of the animal. The birds are more shy than the animals, and will fly away if approached. The birds feed on various items turned over by the cattle as they graze and tramp the ground. Bitterns tend to be shorter necked and more secretive. Unlike other long-necked birds such as storks, ibises, and spoonbills, members of the Ardeidae fly with their necks pulled back into a curve.

Glossy ibis, Plegadis falcinellus

New World vultures[edit]
Order: Cathartiformes Family: Cathartidae
New World vultures are not closely related to Old World vultures, but superficially resemble them because of convergent evolution. Like the Old World vultures, they are scavengers. Unlike Old World vultures, which find carcasses by sight, New World vultures have a good sense of smell with which they locate carcasses. The turkey vulture has a red head. The black vulture has a grey head. Although not a water bird, a flock of black vultures at the Myakka River State Park, southeast of Sarasota, has been seen bathing at the edge of the lake and then drying out their wings in the same way as cormorants like the Florida anhinga. This habit may help free them of parasites.
