Checklist of Birds in the Okhotsk Region
Exactly 354 species of wild birds have been positively recorded thus far (as of 2 April 2013) in the
Okhotsk (Sub-prefectural) region of Hokkaido. This compares with 633 species (excluding 43
introduced species) for all of Japan (Ornithological Society of Japan, 2012). It is a surprisingly large
number in a region that has relatively few birdwatchers. The Okhotsk region is a wonderful field
blessed with a great diversity of habitats. The checklist below contains all 354 of these species, plus 4
introduced species. If you happen to be in this region and spot any birds that are not in this list,
please by all means report it to us! (via the Contact Us page).
One point to note in this list, however, is that while we generally have one name in Japanese for ourbirds, in English there is often more than one name. There is also occasionally some disagreement in
the references concerning scientific names. (Avibase is a good online source to check for updates tonames in current use.) For now, we have included most of the recent names that we have come acrossfor the benefit of our readers around the world. We will continue to edit this list over time based on
new information as we receive it. To download a PDF version of the checklist page, click here →Download Okhotsk Checklist (105 KB).
The checklist is in two parts: Part A covers birds (354 species) sighted and positively identified in the
Okhotsk region excluding introduced species; Part B covers the introduced species (4 species).
Links via the Japanese names on the left (where underlined) will take you to pages in our Okhotsk Bird
Guide for some photos and information about those birds.
