CHECKLIST OF ALASKA BIRDS

CHECKLIST OF ALASKA BIRDS 22nd edition 2016 As of 1 January 2016 the list of avian taxa known in Alaska included 510 naturally-occurring species in 65 families and 20 orders. Phylogenetic sequence, limits of orders and families, and English and scientific names of species follow The A.O.U. Check-list of North American Birds (7th ed., American Ornithologists Union 1998) and supplements (through 2015). Founded on archived specimens, this checklist increasingly includes new species known in Alaska only from (archived) photos, videotapes, and/or audio recordings. An appended unsubstantiated list comprises an additional 24 species including two species pairs attributed to Alaska without specimen or photo substantiation. KEY TO SYMBOLS: RARE (Annual or possibly annual in small numbers; most such species occur at the perimeter of Alaska, in season; a few are scarce residents) CASUAL (Not annual; these species are beyond the periphery of annual range, but recur in Alaska at irregular intervals, usually in seasonal and regional patterns) ACCIDENTAL (One or two Alaska records) Order ANSERIFORMES Family Anatidae: Ducks, Geese, & Swans Taiga Bean-Goose Anser fabalis Tundra Bean-Goose Anser serrirostris Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus Emperor Goose Chen canagica Snow Goose Chen caerulescens Ross s Goose Chen rossii Brant Branta bernicla Cackling Goose Branta hutchinsii Canada Goose Branta canadensis Trumpeter Swan Cygnus buccinator Tundra Swan Cygnus columbianus Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus Wood Duck Aix sponsa Gadwall Anas strepera Falcated Duck Anas falcata Eurasian Wigeon Anas penelope American Wigeon Anas americana American Black Duck Anas rubripes Mallard Anas platyrhynchos Eastern Spot-billed Duck Anas zonorhyncha Blue-winged Teal Anas discors Cinnamon Teal Anas cyanoptera 1
