INTRODUCTION 

This publication presents a comprehensive list of the birds of Guyana 

with summary information on their habitats, biogeographical affinities, 

migratory behavior and abundance, in a format suitable for use in the 

field. It should facilitate field identification, especially when used in 

conjunction with an illustrated work such as Birds of Venezuela (Hilty 

2003). It is part of a series of comprehensive lists of the flora and fauna of 

Guyana being developed by the Smithsonian Institution’s Biological 

Diversity of the Guiana Shield Program and the Centre for the Study of 

Biological Diversity, University of Guyana (Boggan et al. 1997, Hollowell 

& Reynolds 2005, www.nmnh.si.edu/biodiversity/bdg.htm). 

The first edition of this list (Braun et al. 2000) included 786 species. 

The list presently stands at 814 species that have been documented as 

occurring in Guyana. It builds upon the long out-of-print work of Snyder 

(1966), who listed 720 species. Her list is largely treated as authoritative, 

but 10 species are removed for lack of concrete documentation. These are 

Tinamus tao, Butorides virescens, Patagioenas fasciata, Crotophaga 

sulcirostris, Pharomachrus fulgidus, Iodopleura pipra, Tangara peruviana, 

Loxigilla noctis, Sporophila hypochroma and Gymnomystax mexicanus. 

Species included are those whose occurrence in the country is supported 

by physical evidence (specimen, photograph, sound recording, or band 

recovery) or written documentation of a sight record by a reliable, 

experienced observer (see below). The nomenclature follows A 

Classification of the Bird Species of South America (Remsen et al. 2007). 

DEFINITIONS 

Abbreviations and symbols are used for various categories of habitat, 

endemism, migration and abundance. The endemism and habitat codes 

follow Stotz et al. (1996); some habitat codes are modified to reflect the 

authors’ experience in Guyana. Figure 1 (inside back cover) shows the 

distribution of principal habitats in Guyana. 

HABITAT CODES 

LF 

MF 

RI 

MA 

MU 

Lowland forest, including both terra firme and seasonally flooded 

forest. 

Montane forest. 

Riverine habitats, including the river and their islands, banks, 

waterfalls, and riparian forests. 

Marine or salt water habitats, including coastal and pelagic 

waters. 

Mudflats and coastal beaches. 

3

FW 

MN 

HU 

SV 

SC 

PA 

Fresh water habitats, including lakes, impoundments, ponds, 

oxbows, marshes, and canals. 

Mangrove forest. 

Habitats altered by humans, such as gardens, towns, roadsides, 

agricultural lands, disturbed forests and forest edge. 

Savanna grasslands. 

Scrub or brush habitats, including white sand scrub, bush islands, 

and dense, low second growth. 

Palm trees and forests. 

ENDEMISM AND MIGRATION CODES (EN/MI) 

GUI Restricted to the Guianas and adjacent Venezuela and Brazil. 

TEP Restricted to the tepui highlands of Venezuela, Brazil and 

Guyana. In Guyana, these include the Pacaraima and Merume 

Mountains. 

AMN Restricted to Amazonian (and Guianan) lowlands north of the 

Amazon. 

NEA Nearctic migrant; except for shorebirds, these occur September- 

May and are absent in the northern summer months of June- 

August. 

AUS Austral migrant; typically present May- September. 

ABUNDANCE CODES (ABU) 

C Common; more than 20 individuals encountered daily in prime 

habitat and season. 

F Fairly common; 5-20 individuals encountered daily in prime 

habitat and season. 

U Uncommon; present in small numbers (fewer than 5 individuals 

per day); not encountered daily even in prime habitat and season. 

S Scarce; only occasionally encountered in small numbers even in 

prime habitat and season. 

? Occurs in Guyana but status unclear due to scarcity of data. 

E Extirpated; no longer occurs, probably as a result of hunting 

(Horned Screamer). 

† Extinct (Eskimo Curlew). 

L Local; used with other abundance codes to indicate that a species’ 

distribution in the country is patchy and that it is absent from 

large areas of apparently suitable habitat. 

[ ] Sight records only (24 species). 

* Reported for Guyana, but needs verification (14 species). 

4

DOCUMENTING NEW RECORDS 

While this list contains new information, much remains to be learned. 

Every effort should be made to document species not on this list, as well 

as those marked by brackets or asterisks, or with an abundance code of 

“?”. Copies of photographs, tape recordings and/or written details of sight 

records may be sent to the first author. These should include date, time, 

specific locality, observers’ names and addresses, description of size, shape 

and color pattern with specific field marks used to eliminate similar species, 

habitat, behavior, light conditions, optical equipment and previous 

experience of the observers with the species in question and its relatives. 

Documenting new or unusual distributional records of birds is only 

the beginning. Little is known of the habitat, behavior, migration, breeding 

and ecology of many Neotropical birds. New and significant discoveries 

await any keen observer with a pair of binoculars and a field guide! We 

hope this publication will generate new information on the status and 

distribution of Guyana’s birdlife and result in an increased commitment 

to its preservation.
