This list of birds of New Jersey includes species credibly documented in New Jersey and accepted by the New Jersey Bird Records Committee. There are 465 species included in this list. Five further species of uncertain origin are not included. *(A) Accidental - occurrence based fewer than 10 records and unlikely to occur regularly *(E) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists *(Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in New Jersey, but populations survive elsewhere *(I) Introduced - a species established by direct or indirect human intervention; synonymous with non-native or non-indigenous Birds listed as accidental should not be expected in New Jersey with regularity. Only birds that have occurred as wild individuals in New Jersey are admitted to this list; introduced species are included only if they have succeeded in establishing self-sustaining populations in the wild. Birds thought to have occurred only as escapes from captivity are not included. This list is presented in the taxonomic order and follows ''The Check-list of North American Birds'' (7th edition, 1998) and its supplements, published by the American Ornithologists' Union. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species numbers indicated for each family. Introduced, casual, accidental, hypothetical, extirpated and extinct species are included in the total species counts for North America and New Jersey. __NOTOC__ ==Ducks, geese and swans== Order: AnseriformesFamily: Anatidae The family Anatidae includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swans.
