This is a categorized list of the bird species recorded in the archipelago of Puerto Rico which consists of the main island of Puerto Rico, two island municipalities off the east coast (Vieques and Culebra), three uninhabited islands off the west coast (Mona, Monito and Desecheo) and more than 125 smaller cays and islands. The avifauna of Puerto Rico include a total of 349 species, of which 166 (48%) are accidental, 42 (12%) are introduced by humans and 16 (5%) are endemic. Around 120 of these species breed in Puerto Rico while the majority of the others overwinter in the archipelago. This list does not include extinct species. This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of ''The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World'', 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced, accidental and extirpated species are included in the total species counts for Puerto Rico. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories, but not all species fall into one of these categories. Those that do not are common occurring native species. *(A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in the archipelago of Puerto Rico *(E) Endemic - a species endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico *(Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in the archipelago Puerto Rico although populations exist elsewhere *(I) Introduced - a species introduced to the archipelago of Puerto Rico as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions __NOTOC__ ==Grebes== Order: PodicipediformesFamily: Podicipedidae Grebes are small to medium-large freshwater diving birds. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land. *Least grebe, ''Tachybaptus dominicus'' *Pied-billed grebe, ''Podilymbus podiceps'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of birds of Puerto Rico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
