This list of birds of Georgia lists every wild bird species ever seen, identified and reliably documented in the American state of Georgia, as accepted by the Georgia Ornithological Society Checklist and Records Committee (GOSRC) as of 2010. Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in Georgia as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following codes are used to designate some species: *(E) Extinct - a recent bird that no longer exists〔 *(A) Accidental - a bird that occurs rarely or accidentally in Georgia, and for which the GOSRC requests a full report for verification. Only those birds that are considered by the GOSRC to have arrived in Georgia without human assistance, or introduced species with established, self-sustaining populations in Georgia, are included on this list. Probable escapees are not included. There are 414 species on the Georgia state checklist. This list is presented in taxonomic order and follows ''The Check-list of North American Birds'' (7th edition, 51st supplement, 2010), published by the American Ornithologists' Union. The table of contents is grouped into passerines (the largest order of birds) and non-passerines. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced, casual, accidental, extirpated and extinct species are included in the total species counts for North America and Georgia.〔〔 __NOTOC__ ==Ducks, geese and swans== Order: AnseriformesFamily: Anatidae The family Anatidae includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swans. These are birds that are adapted for an aquatic existence with webbed feet, bills that are flattened to a greater or lesser extent, and feathers that are excellent at shedding water due to special oils. 40 species of Anatidae have been recorded in Georgia.〔 *Black-bellied whistling-duck, ''Dendrocygna autumnalis'' *Fulvous whistling-duck, ''Dendrocygna bicolor'' (A) *Greater white-fronted goose, ''Anser albifrons'' *Snow goose, ''Chen caerulescens'' *Ross's goose, ''Chen rossii'' (A) *Brant, ''Branta bernicla'' (A) *Cackling goose, ''Branta hutchinsonii'' (A) *Canada goose, ''Branta canadensis'' *Tundra swan, ''Cygnus columbianus'' *Wood duck, ''Aix sponsa'' *Gadwall, ''Anas strepera'' *Eurasian wigeon, ''Anas penelope'' (A) *American wigeon, ''Anas americana'' *American black duck, ''Anas rubripes'' *Mallard, ''Anas platyrhynchos'' *Mottled duck, ''Anas fulvigula'' *Blue-winged teal, ''Anas discors'' *Cinnamon teal, ''Anas cyanoptera'' (A) *Northern shoveler, ''Anas clypeata'' *Northern pintail, ''Anas acuta'' *Green-winged teal, ''Anas crecca carolinensis'' *Canvasback, ''Aythya valisineria'' *Redhead, ''Aythya americana'' *Ring-necked duck, ''Aythya collaris'' *Greater scaup, ''Aythya marila'' *Lesser scaup, ''Aythya affinis'' *King eider, ''Somateria spectabilis'' (A) *Common eider, ''Somateria mollissima'' (A) *Harlequin duck, ''Histrionicus histrionicus'' (A) *Surf scoter, ''Melanitta perspicillata'' *White-winged scoter, ''Melanitta fusca'' *Black scoter, ''Melanitta americana'' *Long-tailed duck, ''Clangula hyemalis'' *Bufflehead, ''Bucephala albeola'' *Common goldeneye, ''Bucephala clangula'' *Hooded merganser, ''Lophodytes cucullatus'' *Common merganser, ''Mergus merganser'' (A) *Red-breasted merganser, ''Mergus serrator'' *Masked duck, ''Nomonyx dominicus'' (A) *Ruddy duck, ''Oxyura jamaicensis'' 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 Georgia (U.S. state)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
