This is a list of the bird species recorded in Argentina. The avifauna of Argentina has 1043 confirmed species, of which 18 are endemic, nine have been introduced by humans, 68 are rare or vagrants, two are thought to be extinct, and four and possibly a fifth have been extirpated. An additional 58 species are hypothetical (see below).
Except as an entry is cited otherwise, the list of species is that of the South American Classification Committee (SACC) of the American Ornithological Society.[1] The list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) are also those of the SACC.[2]
The following tags have been used to highlight several categories.
- (V) Vagrant - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Argentina
- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Argentina
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Argentina as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
- (H) Hypothetical - a species recorded but with "no tangible evidence" according to the SACC
