Channel Islands National Park

Bird Checklist The taxonomic order and common names used in this checklist follows the
by Paul W. Collins, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
November 4, 2011 American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds, 7th
edition (AOU 1988) and all subsequent supplements through the fifty-
second supplement (Chesser et al. 2011). Species with five or fewer records
for the islands and escaped exotics are listed at the back of the checklist as
accidental species.

Symbols used in the checklist are as follows:

ABUNDANCE

a Abundant: species is numerous, encountered daily (more than 100 seen

per day)
c Common: certain to be found daily in suitable habitat (25 to a 100 seen per
day)
fc Fairly Common: usually encountered daily in suitable habitat (less than 25

be seen (5-10 seen per day)
r Rare: occurs (or probably occurs) annually in very small numbers in suit
