This is a list of all bird species recorded in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The avifauna of South Carolina includes 427 bird species. This number includes bird species that have been sighted in South Carolina and are believed to be of wild origin. In addition, sixteen species are confirmed as having been sighted in South Carolina but whose wild origin has been questioned.〔 A further fourteen species are referred to as hypothetical, where the species was reported in ''North American Birds'' or ''The Chat'' but the record was not submitted to the committee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Carolina Bird Club )〕 The South Carolina Bird Records Committee maintains the records for bird sightings in South Carolina and produces the list used by most birders to objectively evaluate species recorded in the state. The committee votes on the validity of new records of bird species in the state. The committee last met in 2008; since then at least five birds with the potential to be first state records were observed in South Carolina. On September 18, 2008, a likely gray flycatcher was reported in South Carolina. Also on September 18, 2008, three potential wandering tattlers were reported along the coast. On November 22, 2008, a bronzed cowbird was reported in Charleston, South Carolina. On February 8, 2009, a tropical kingbird was reported in South Carolina. On January 5, 2010, a California gull was reported in Horry County, South Carolina. These records will be reviewed by the South Carolina Bird Records Committee to determine their validity. Official bird lists are sorted by taxonomic sequence. The taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, genera and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) used by the South Carolina Bird Records Committee follows the conventions of the American Ornithologists' Union's (1998) ''Check-list of North American Birds'', the recognized scientific authority on the taxonomy and nomenclature of North American birds. The American Ornithologists' Union'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". Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy provides an alternative phylogenetic arrangement based on DNA-DNA hybridization. Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in South Carolina as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following codes are used to designate some species: * (I) – Introduced - a species that has been introduced to North America by people, either directly or indirectly * (E) – Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists * (P2) – Birds confirmed as being sighted in South Carolina whose wild origin is unconfirmed * (H) – Hypothetical: These birds have records published in ''North American Birds'' or ''The Chat'', but have not been reviewed by the South Carolina Bird Records Committee. Note: Birds marked with an asterisk ( *) are not identified to species, but are distinct enough to be considered a separate entry. __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 that are flattened to a greater or lesser extent, and feathers that are excellent at shedding water due to special oils. In South Carolina, forty definitive species have been recorded and two of questionable origin have also been reported. *Black-bellied whistling duck, ''Dendrocygna autumnalis'' *Fulvous whistling duck, ''Dendrocygna bicolor'' *Greater white-fronted goose, ''Anser albifrons'' *Snow goose, ''Chen caerulescens'' *Ross's goose, ''Chen rossii'' *Brant, ''Branta bernicla'' *Barnacle goose, ''Branta leucopsis'' (P2) *Cackling goose, ''Branta hutchinsii'' *Canada goose, ''Branta canadensis'' *Mute swan, ''Cygnus olor'' *Trumpeter swan, ''Cygnus buccinator'' (P2) *Tundra swan, ''Cygnus columbianus'' *Wood duck, ''Aix sponsa'' *Gadwall, ''Anas strepera'' *Eurasian wigeon, ''Anas penelope'' *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'' *Northern shoveler, ''Anas clypeata'' *Northern pintail, ''Anas acuta'' *Green-winged teal, ''Anas crecca'' *Canvasback, ''Aythya valisineria'' *Redhead, ''Aythya americana'' *Ring-necked duck, ''Aythya collaris'' *Greater scaup, ''Aythya marila'' *Lesser scaup, ''Aythya affinis'' *King eider, ''Somateria spectabilis'' *Common eider, ''Somateria mollissima'' *Harlequin duck, ''Histrionicus histrionicus'' *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'' *Red-breasted merganser, ''Mergus serrator'' *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 South Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
