context_page_description: The avifauna of Bermuda include 387 species, according to the Bermuda Audubon Society as of February 2015. An additional 10 species have been added from eBird through June 2020.
  The 397 species is a remarkable number considering that the island is a mere 53.3 square kilometres. Ten species were introduced by humans; the mallard also occurs naturally as a non-breeding migrant. Of the 396, 104 are uncommon, 61 are rare, and 15 are very rare, all as defined below. Audubon's shearwater formerly bred in Bermuda but is now only a vagrant; Eskimo curlew is considered extinct.
  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 Bermuda as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
