context_page_description: This is a list of the bird species recorded in Panama. The avifauna of Panama included a total of 994 species as of December 2019, according to Bird Checklists of the World. Nine additional species have been added through eBird through June 2020. Of the 1003 species, 170 are rare or accidental and six have been introduced by humans. Seven are endemic.
  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, the species on this list are considered to occur regularly in Panama as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The tags and notes of population status are from Bird Checklists of the World.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Panama
  Endemic - a species endemic to Panama
