context_page_description: This list of birds of New York includes the 495 species and a species pair of wild birds documented in New York as of February 2020. Unless noted otherwise, the source is the Checklist of New York State Birds published by the New York State Avian Records Committee of the New York State Ornithological Association. These species represent 23 orders and 67 families of birds.
  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 York as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
  Breeding - a species that currently breeds or has bred in New York
  Extinct - a species that used to live in what is now New York but is now extinct
  Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in New York, but populations exist elsewhere
