Checklist of Alabama Birds

This checklist of Alabama birds was updated as of September 2025, and is available online in Adobe Acrobat format.    To see the Checklist, click here https://www.aosbirds.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/AOS-Checklist_Sep2025_AOS_GDJ_QR-code-AOS-text_v4.pdf

When printing using Adobe Acrobat, for optimal page sizing select either “Actual size” or “Custom scale” (in the range 100-102%), not “Fit.”

This checklist uses the taxonomy of the Check-list of North American Birds through the 66th Supplement (July 2025) issued by the North American Classification Committee, a branch of the American Ornithological Society (formerly American Ornithologists’ Union).

Species included are those accepted through September 2025 by the Alabama Bird Records Committee of the Alabama Ornithological Society.

The checklist was produced by Greg D. Jackson (Bird Records Curator, Ala. Ornith. Soc.)
