This list of birds of Vermont includes every wild bird species recorded in the U.S. state of Vermont, based on the list published by the Vermont Bird Records Committee. Only birds that are considered to have established, self-sustaining, wild populations in Vermont are included on this list. This means that birds that are considered probable escapees, although they may have been sighted flying free in Vermont, are not included. This list is presented in taxonomic order and follows ''The Check-list of North American Birds'' (7th edition, 1998) published by the American Ornithologists' Union. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. The following codes are used to designate some species: *(E) Extinct - a recent species that no longer exists *(I) Introduced - a population established solely as result of direct or indirect human intervention; synonymous with non-native and non-indigenous __NOTOC__ ==Ducks, geese and swans== Order: AnseriformesFamily: Anatidae The family Anatidae includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swans.
