This checklist contains 412 species currently recorded on the island of Newfoundland. For some of the rarest species, click to get record details.
* Please note that this is an “unofficial” checklist since an official checklist has not been published in several years, and a number of new records and/or species have occurred during that time. Hard copies of the official Checklist to the Birds of Insular Newfoundland can be purchased from NatureNL here.
* The status assigned to each species is my own, and based on the most recent number of records/occurrences. Some species may be more or less common in different parts of the island.

Jared. That’s a lot of time and work here. Commendable job. The curiosity alone madecreading your Checklist worthwhile. Thank you.

Super votre liste car je ne trouve pas grand chose en français sur les sites de Terre-Neuve et je suis un ornithologue qui veut aller a Terre-Neuve
Great work, alot of effort. Excellent source of information and referance material for birders, biologists and naturalists.
I’ve heard the Pine Grosbeak referred to as the Morning Grosbeak… Comment??
Interesting. I’ve never heard that name before, but assume it would be a joking comparison to their cousin the Evening Grosbeak 😉
I had a Scarlett tananger in my backyard for about a week this summer. Such a beautiful bird. Bay Robert’s
