context_page_description: This is a list of bird species confirmed in Canada. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of Bird Checklists of the World as of January 2020. Two species have been added from eBird records. Of the 692 species listed here, 225 are accidental. Eleven species were introduced to North America or directly to Canada, three species are extinct, and four have been extirpated. One species of uncertain origin is also included.
  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 Canadian English spellings are used and the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
  Canadian birds most closely resemble those of Eurasia, which was connected to the continent as part of the supercontinent Laurasia until around 60 million years ago. Many families which occur in Canada are also found throughout the Northern Hemisphere or worldwide.

  Grebes are small to medium-large freshwater diving birds. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land.
