The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. Unless otherwise noted, the species on this list are considered to occur regularly in Mexico as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them. This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). The total figure includes a number of species which are known only from sight records they are listed but not especially noted. Four species are known to be extinct, 68 are globally vulnerable or endangered, and three of the latter might also be extinct. Of the 1135 species, 112 are rare or accidental, 10 have been introduced by humans, 112 are endemic, and five more breed only in Mexico though their non-breeding range is larger. The avifauna of Mexico included a total of 1135 species as of July 2022, according to Bird Checklists of the World. This is a list of the bird species recorded in Mexico.
