Five species have been extirpated and one is extinct. Eighteen species are globally threatened.
  This list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature are those of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition.
  The following tags have been used to highlight several categories of occurrence.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Jamaica
  Endemic - a species endemic to Jamaica
  Endemic subspecies - a subspecies endemic to Jamaica
  (I) Introduced - a species introduced directly to Jamaica or elsewhere in the New World
  Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Jamaica although populations exist elsewhere
  Conservation status is highlighted as follows; the status applies to the species' worldwide population, not that in Jamaica except for endemics:
  Near-threatened
  (V) Vulnerable
  Endangered
  Critically endangered
