context_page_description: The Canadian province of Prince Edward Island's Department of Agriculture and Forestry most recently published its Field Checklist of Birds in 2014, identifying 369 species of birds observed in the province. Since that checklist was published, five more species have been added from eBird records through early July 2020. Of the resulting 371 species presented here, 82 are accidental, 38 are occasional, and 13 are hypothetical as defined below. Three species were introduced to Prince Edward Island and another four were introduced elsewhere in North America.
  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 Canadian English spellings are used and the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
  The following tags are used to categorise some species. The DAF Checklist provides abundance codes by season, and species may be abundant in one season and accidental in another.
