Esta lista de aves de Wyoming incluye especies documentadas en el estado estadounidense de Wyoming por el Departamento de Caza y Pesca de Wyoming (WGFD) en mayo de 2016. [1] La lista contiene 437 especies. De ellos, 103 están clasificados como accidentales y siete especies se han introducido en América del Norte.
Esta lista se presenta en la secuencia taxonómica de la lista de verificación de aves norteamericanas y medianas , desde la séptima edición hasta el suplemento 61, publicado por la American Ornithological Society (AOS). [2] Los nombres comunes y científicos también son los de la lista de verificación , excepto que los nombres comunes de las familias provienen de la taxonomía de Clements porque la lista AOS no los incluye.
A menos que se indique lo contrario, se considera que todas las especies enumeradas a continuación ocurren regularmente en Wyoming como residentes permanentes, visitantes de verano o de invierno o migrantes. Estas etiquetas se utilizan para anotar algunas especies:
- (A) Accidental - "especies con ocurrencia accidental e impredecible" según WGFD
- (I) Introducida : una especie establecida en América del Norte como resultado de la acción humana.
