List of Arizona birds

The List of Arizona birds lists every wild bird species ever seen in Arizona, as recorded by the Arizona Bird Committee. The following markings have been used:

* n - Nesting: Confirmed nesting records within the state of Arizona.
* (I) - Introduced: Birds that have been introduced to North America by the actions of man, either directly or indirectly.
* (E) - Extinct
* (Ex) - Extirpated: A bird that, while it is not extinct, is no longer found in Arizona.
* (C) - Casual: Birds that are rare, but have been recorded in Arizona at least forty times.
* (A) - Accidental: Birds that have been seen only a few times, or only once.
* (H) - Hypothetical: Birds that have had a credible sighting reported, but have not been documented with a specimen or with a suitable photograph.

Birds listed as either accidental or hypothetical should not be expected to be found anywhere in Arizona with regularity, and are put on an official Review List, with reports of these birds requested for submission to the Arizona Bird Committee with full details (including when possible, photographic, tape, video, or sketch documentation). The order is as given by the official Arizona Bird Committee list, with some modifications according to recent taxonomical changes. Introduced, casual, accidental, hypothetical, extirpated and extinct species are included in the total species counts for Arizona.
