context_page_description: The avifauna of Honduras included a total of 766 species as of August 2015, according to La Asociación Hondureña de Ornitología. Between that date and July 2020, an additional 21 species have been added from Bird Checklists of the World and one as a result of a split.
  Of the 788 species listed here, one of them, the Honduran emerald, is endemic. Forty-eight are rare or accidental and five have been introduced by humans. Five species are hypothetical and a few have insufficient information to classify. Some of the "hypothetical" species have more recent eBird records with photographs. Two species have possibly been extirpated. Sixteen species are globally vulnerable or endangered.
  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.
