List of birds of Everglades National Park

This is a comprehensive listing of the bird species recorded in Everglades National Park, which is in the U.S. state of Florida. This list is based on one published by the National Park Service (NPS) dated June 21, 2022.^[1]

Of the 375 species included here, 13 have been introduced to North America, three have been extirpated, and one is extinct. Unless otherwise noted, introduced species which do not have established populations in Florida are not included.^[2]

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 65th Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).^[3] 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.

The following tags have been used to annotate some species:

• (I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
• (e) Extirpated - a species that is no longer in Florida, but exists elsewhere
• (E) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists
