context_page_description: This list of birds of Wyoming includes species documented in the U.S. state of Wyoming by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department supplemented by eBird data through July 2020. The list from both sources contains 449 species. Of them, 115 are classed as accidental, and eight species have been introduced to North America.
  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.
  Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in Wyoming as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
  Accidental - "species with accidental, unpredictable, occurrence" per WGFD
  (I) Introduced - a species established in North America as a result of human action
context_section_description: Order: Passeriformes   Family: Laniidae
  Shrikes are passerine birds known for their habit of catching other birds and small animals and impaling the uneaten portions of their bodies on thorns.  A shrike's beak is hooked, like that of a typical bird of prey. Two species have been recorded in Wyoming.
  Loggerhead shrike, Lanius ludovicianus
  Northern shrike, Lanius borealis
