This is a list of the bird species recorded on Saint Helena. The avifauna of Saint Helena Island include a total of 68 species. Only one endemic species survives today, the Saint Helena plover. Several more endemics are extinct and known only from subfossil remains: the Saint Helena petrel, Olson's petrel, Saint Helena shearwater, Saint Helena crake, Saint Helena swamphen, Saint Helena dove, Saint Helena cuckoo and Saint Helena hoopoe. At least five non-endemics have been extirpated from Saint Helena but still occur elsewhere. Nine species have been introduced by humans and formed established breeding populations while many more species were introduced in the past but failed to become established. Of these, 43 species are rare or accidental visitors. 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'', 6th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Saint Helena. 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 commonly occurring native species. * (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Saint Helena * (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Saint Helena * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Saint Helena as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions * (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer breeds in Saint Helena although populations exist elsewhere __NOTOC__ ==Albatrosses== Order: ProcellariiformesFamily: Diomedeidae The albatrosses are among the largest of flying birds, and the great albatrosses from the genus ''Diomedea'' have the largest wingspans of any extant birds. *Wandering albatross, ''Diomedea exulans'' (A) *Black-browed albatross, ''Thalassarche melanophris'' (A) *Yellow-nosed albatross, ''Thalassarche chlororhynchos'' (A) *Sooty albatross, ''Phoebetria fusca'' (A) 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 Saint Helena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
