context_page_description: This list of birds of Georgia includes species documented in the U.S. state of Georgia and accepted by the Checklist and Records Committee of the Georgia Ornithological Society. As of July 2019, there are 425 species definitively included in the official list. Seven additional species are on the list but classed as provisional. Of the 425 species, 98 are classed as rare, four have been introduced to North America, and one is extinct.
  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 Georgia as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags are used to designate some species:
  - Rare - a species whose report is reviewable by the GOSRC
  (I) - Introduced - a species introduced to North America by humans, either directly or indirectly
