CHECKLIST OF THE BIRDS OF URUGUAY

AVES DE URUGUAY

Birds of Uruguay coded for abundance, breeding, migration, wintering, endemic, rare, etc.; 2000 pages on birds, nature, birdwatching, where to go birding, birds and nature pictures, nature conservation, equipment, bird feeding, etc. Welcome to the bird list of Uruguay.

Uruguay is home to an impressive number of species of birds that vary from residents, that stay all year around, to breeding birds, that spend a good part of the growing season in Uruguay to raise their young, migrants who pass through Uruguay with the seasons, to wintering birds who like to spend a good part of the winter in Uruguay to escape colder conditions up north. While many species of birds are relatively common as they are part of the ecosystems of the state, it is always a thrill to stumble upon a rare bird or vagrant, that does not really form part of any the Uruguay ecosystems. Maybe it got lost during its travels between its summer and winter residence or it got displaced by bad weather.

Among the species of the checklist of the birds of Uruguay you can find waterfowl and wading birds, a large suite of song birds, raptors, game birds, swifts and nighthawks, etc., many of which occupy several ecosystems simultaneously, as they fly to and from forests, meadows, shorelines of waters, cities and and urban green spaces. At Birdlist, we have developed a coding system that can help you predict when you may expect a certain species, with a code for seasonality, such as resident, nesting, wintering, etc. A code for abundance will give you a clue on the likelihood that you may actually see a certain species of bird. As we progressed with the coding, we realized that there should be a differentiation in the coding for "common", such as less common, common and very common birds. However, this would require reliable quantative data, which for most states, are not revealed by the commission of bird records. We hope to provide those in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the current checklist of the birds of Uruguay.

Abundance Codes
D	Distribution range deducted from map, not actual record.
P	Present, abundance not determined.
C	Within its range, varying from common to occasional
O	Rare, wandered outside of its normal range but still may be expected from time to time. Normally between 10 - 100 records.
V	Vagrant, accidental, species far out of its normal distribution range. >10 observations.
I	Introduced species.
Q	Not verified.
X	Extinct.
XL	Extinct in country
Status of Permanence Codes
R	Resident, present year around.
N	Nests in the area but absent during part of the year.
M	Migrant, non-breeding. May spend a short period or the entire winter.
W	Wintering; stays in the area, while its primary nesting range is elsewhere.
