context_page_description: This list of birds of New Mexico are the species documented in the U.S. state of New Mexico and accepted by the New Mexico Bird Records Committee. As of January 2019, 546 species are included in the official list. Of them, 169 are on the review list, five species have been introduced to North America, and three have been extirpated. One additional common species has been added by the 2020 taxonomic revisions to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds and an additional extirpated species has been added from another source.
  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 New Mexico as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
