List of birds of Quebec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of bird species confirmed in the Canadian province of Quebec. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of the Regroupement QuébecOiseaux (RQ) Checklist of the Birds of Quebec as of April 2021.[1] The RQ Checklist contains 471 species. Of them, 152 are casual as defined below. Four species are extinct and seven species were introduced to North America. The list does not include species of unknown or captive origin.

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 62nd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[2] 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. French names in parentheses are from the RQ Checklist.
The following tags are used to describe some categories of occurrence.
- (C) Casual - species which neither breed in Quebec nor are regular migrants
- (I) Introduced - introduced to North America by humans, but not necessarily directly introduced in Quebec
