This list of birds of Maine is a comprehensive listing of all the bird species recorded in the U.S. state of Maine. This list is based on a checklist used by the Maine Bird Records Committee. This list is based on the committee's revision of November, 2007, supplemented by more recent verified eBird records. The taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, genera and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) used in this list adhere to the conventions of the AOU's 1998 ''Check-list of North American Birds'', the recognized scientific authority on the taxonomy and nomenclature of North American birds. The AOU's Committee on Classification and Nomenclature, the body responsible for maintaining and updating the ''Check-list'', "strongly and unanimously continues to endorse the biological species concept (BSC), in which species are considered to be genetically cohesive groups of populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups" (AOU 1998). See Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy for an alternative phylogenetic arrangement based on DNA-DNA hybridization. Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in Maine as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following codes are used to designate some species: * (n) Nesting - confirmed nesting records within Maine * (xn) Extralimital nester - previous record of nesting, but recorded only once or twice * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to North America by the actions of man, either directly or indirectly * (E) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists * (Ex) Extirpated - a species no longer found in Maine but existing elsewhere * (R) Review list - birds that if seen require more comprehensive documentation than regularly seen species. These birds are considered irregular or rare in Maine. __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 birds are adapted to an aquatic existence with webbed feet, bills which are flattened to a greater or lesser extent, and feathers that are excellent at shedding water due to special oils. *Black-bellied whistling duck, ''Dendrocygna autumnalis'' (R) *Fulvous whistling duck, ''Dendrocygna bicolor'' (R) *Pink-footed goose, ''Anser brachyrhynchus'' (R) *Greater white-fronted goose, ''Anser albifrons'' *Snow goose, ''Chen caerulescens'' *Ross's goose, ''Chen rossii'' (R) *Cackling goose, ''Branta hutchinsii'' (R) *Canada goose, ''Branta canadensis'' (n) *Brant, ''Branta bernicla'' *Barnacle goose, ''Branta leucopsis'' (R) *Mute swan, ''Cygnus olor'' (I) (n) *Tundra swan, ''Cygnus columbianus'' *Whooper swan, ''Cygnus cygnus'' (R) *Wood duck, ''Aix sponsa'' (n) *Gadwall, ''Anas strepera'' (n) *Eurasian wigeon, ''Anas penelope'' *American wigeon, ''Anas americana'' (n) *Mallard, ''Anas platyrhynchos'' (n) *American black duck, ''Anas rubripes'' (n) *Blue-winged teal, ''Anas discors'' (n) *Northern shoveler, ''Anas clypeata'' (n) *Northern pintail, ''Anas acuta'' (n) *Garganey, ''Anas querquedula'' *Green-winged teal, ''Anas crecca'' (n) *Canvasback, ''Aythya valisineria'' *Redhead, ''Aythya americana'' *Ring-necked duck, ''Aythya collaris'' (n) *Tufted duck, ''Aythya fuligula'' (R) *Greater scaup, ''Aythya marila'' *Lesser scaup, ''Aythya affinis'' *Steller's eider, ''Polysticta stelleri'' (R) *King eider, ''Somateria spectabilis'' *Common eider, ''Somateria mollissima'' (n) *Harlequin duck, ''Histrionicus histrionicus'' *Labrador duck, ''Camptorhynchus labradorius'' (E) *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'' *Barrow's goldeneye, ''Bucephala islandica'' *Hooded merganser, ''Lophodytes cucullatus'' (n) *Common merganser, ''Mergus merganser'' (n) *Red-breasted merganser, ''Mergus serrator'' (n) *Masked duck, ''Nomonyx dominicus'' (R) *Ruddy duck, ''Oxyura jamaicensis'' (n) 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 Maine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
