FOS Official State List Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee This is the formal list of modern bird species definitely having occurred in Florida by natural appearance or by establishment of an exotic. The base list shall be the Supplement: Checklist of Florida Birds, pp. 255-260 in Robertson & Woolfenden (1992), as updated by final decisions of the Florida Ornithological Society’s Records Committee. Status = Established exotics (e); extinct or extirpated native species (x) and disestablished exotics (d). Extinct species do not reduce the size of the Florida list, but a disestablished exotic species does. A distinctive member of a subspecies group may be added to the list for review purposes (see below), but it shall not be counted on the list beyond the species’ presence there. Review species are annotated with an ‘R’. They should be documented when detected in Florida and submitted to the FOSRC for review. In addition, documentation should be submitted to the FOSRC for any species detected in Florida believed to have occurred naturally or to have escaped, but not appearing in the main list below or in its formatted download versions. Currently, there are 543 total taxa of which nine are subspecies, four are extinct, and one is a disestablished exotic leaving 529 extant species. Of these 529 species 15 are established exotics.
