context_page_description: This is a list of bird species confirmed in the Canadian province of Alberta. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of Bird Checklists of the World as of January 2020. Of the 437 species on the list, 131 are accidental and eight were introduced to North America. One species is extinct and another probably is.
  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 describe some categories of occurrence.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Alberta
  (I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to Alberta by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
