List of birds of the Aleutian Islands


This list of birds of the Aleutian Islands is a comprehensive listing of all bird species known from the Aleutian Islands, as documented by Gibson and Byrd and eBird.
The known avifauna of the Aleutian Islands total 315 species as of early July 2020. Of that number, 44 are year-round residents and breeders, 27 migrate to the Aleutians to breed, 18 migrate to the Aleutians to winter, 6 are non-breeding summer residents, 37 are annual through-migrants, and the remaining 187 are vagrants of less-than-annual occurrence. Several of the vagrants have only a single record.
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 the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
