List of birds of Yukon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of birds of the Yukon includes species documented in the Canadian territory of the Yukon. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of the Yukon Bird Club (YBC). As of 2021, there were 348 species included in that list. Of them, 58 are casual and 60 are accidental; both terms are defined below. Four have been introduced to the Yukon or elsewhere in North America.[1]
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.
The following tags are used to describe some categories of occurrence.
- (C) Casual - at least two records but not recorded every year per the YBC
- (A) Accidental - recorded only once per the YBC
- (I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to the Yukon by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly
