context_page_description: This list of birds of Maryland includes species credibly documented in the U.S. state of Maryland and accepted by the Maryland / District of Columbia Records Committee of the Maryland Ornithological Society as of June 2020. There are 455 species included in the official list. Eight additional species of questionable origin and two of exotic origin per the MRC are also included in this page. Of the 455 species, 116 are rare anywhere in the state, 64 are rare in some part of the state, six have been introduced to North America, three are extinct, and one has been extirpated.
  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 Maryland as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags are used to designate some species:
