List of birds of Saint Lucia

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Saint Lucia. The avifauna of Saint Lucia included a total of 197 species according to Bird Checklists of the World as of October 2024.[1] Of them, five are endemic, three have been introduced by humans, and 122 are rare or accidental. There are also two subspecies endemic to the island. Six species are globally threatened.

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[2] 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.

The following tags have been used to highlight several categories of occurrence.

  • (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Saint Lucia
  • (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Saint Lucia
  • (ES) Endemic subspecies - a subspecies endemic to Saint Lucia
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced directly to Saint Lucia or elsewhere in the New World
