List of Texas birds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Accepted Texas Species List is maintained by the Texas Birds Record Committee (TBRC) of the Texas Ornithological Society. There are 629 accepted species as of August 28, 2006. The Texas Accepted Species List is the largest state list in the lower 48 states, mostly due to its convergance of flyways during migration seasons.

Birds in bold are considered to be Texas Review Species. These species have been seen in Texas in the past, but are rare and do not make an appearance every year. Some Texas Review Species have been seen only once on record. The TBRC requests that if anyone sees any of these review species in Texas, that they provide them with detailed documentation immediately. An (I) indicates that the species was introduced into Texas, an (E) means that the bird has become extinct since it was added to the list, and (e) (lowercase) means that the bird has been extirpated (not extinct but no longer found in Texas), and (u) means the bird has an uncertain origin (introducted or native).
