caption_attribution_description: Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus (Cactus Wren), photographed at the White Tank Mountains outside of Phoenix, Arizona
context_page_description: This list of birds of Arizona includes every wild bird species seen in Arizona, as recorded by the Arizona Bird Committee through October 2018.
  This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 61st Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society. Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
  The following tags have been used to identify categories of occurrence:
  – Nesting: Per the ABC, this denotes "[a] species that has hatched young at least once, however, this does not include hybrid offspring"
  (I) – Introduced: Birds that have been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
  – Extirpated: A bird that, while it is not extinct, is no longer found in Arizona
  – Casual: Birds that are rare in Arizona, but have been recorded often enough that the ABC does not require a formal report though documentation is requested.
context_section_description: This list of birds of Arizona includes every wild bird species seen in Arizona, as recorded by the Arizona Bird Committee (ABC) through October 2018.
  This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 61st Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
  The following tags have been used to identify categories of occurrence:
  (n) – Nesting: Per the ABC, this denotes "[a] species that has hatched young at least once, however, this does not include hybrid offspring"
  (I) – Introduced: Birds that have been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
  (Ex) – Extirpated: A bird that, while it is not extinct, is no longer found in Arizona
  (C) – Casual: Birds that are rare in Arizona, but have been recorded often enough that the ABC does not require a formal report though documentation is requested.
  (A) – Accidental: Birds that have been seen only a few times, or only once; the ABC requires a formal report for sightings of them to be included in the official record
  (H) – Hypothetical: Birds that have had a credible sighting reported, but have not been documented with physical evidence such as a specimen or photograph
  The ABC list contains 562 species and one "slash" entry for a record which could not be identified at the species level. Of them, 77 are classed as casual, 161 as accidental, and two as hypothetical. Eight have been introduced by humans and four have been extirpated. Nesting has been recorded for 341 taxa (species or identifiable subspecies) including some which are classed as casual and accidental. The list includes 70 forms or groups of subspecies which can be distinguished in the field; some of them are also classed as casual or accidental. One additional nesting species has been added by the 2020 taxonomic revisions to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds and an extirpated species has been added from another source. Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list. Records of three additional "accidental" species are under review by the ABC.
