context_page_description: This list of birds of New Hampshire includes species documented in the U.S. state of New Hampshire and accepted by the New Hampshire Rare Bird Committee of New Hampshire Audubon. As of April 2010, the list contained 398 species. Of them, 110 are on the review list and five have been introduced to North America. Three are extinct and three have been extirpated. To this list are added 11 hypothetical species, and 18 species with eBird records since the official list was published through June 2020. These 29 species are also tagged. A few species whose only records are almost surely of escaped or released birds are not included here.
  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 listed below are considered to occur regularly in New Hampshire as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants.
