context_page_description: This list of birds of New Jersey includes species credibly documented in the U.S. state of New Jersey and accepted by the New Jersey Bird Records Committee as of October 2019. There are 480 species and two species pairs included in the official list. Six additional species of uncertain origin are also included in this page.
  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 Jersey as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. These tags are used to annotate some species:
  Rare or accidental - Review List; birds that if observed require more comprehensive documentation than regularly seen species
  Review List, in part - "Identifiable form/race/subspecies, seen from shore, etc." per the NJBRC
  Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists
