context_page_description: This is a list of the bird species recorded in Chile. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society. The SACC list includes species recorded in mainland Chile, on the Chilean islands of the Cape Horn area, on other islands and waters near the mainland, and on and around the Juan Fernández Islands. The list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature are also those of the SACC.
  The avifauna of Chile has 506 confirmed species, of which 12 are endemic, 113 are rare or vagrants, five have been introduced by humans, and two are extinct or extirpated. An additional seven species are hypothetical. Thirty-five of the species on the Chilean SACC list are globally threatened.
  The following tags have been used to highlight several categories.
  (V) Vagrant - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Chile
  Endemic - a species endemic to Chile
  (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Chile as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  Hypothetical - a species recorded but with "no tangible evidence" according to the SACC
