List of birds of Dry Tortugas National Park facts for kids

Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida is a special place where many different kinds of birds come to visit or live. This list tells you about all the amazing bird species that have been seen there!

The park's official bird list, from February 2004, included 281 different types of birds. Some birds are seen often, while others are quite rare. Here's what the special codes next to some bird names mean:

• (O) Occasionally observed: These birds have been seen only 1 to 5 times during the season when they are most common.
• (R) Rarely observed: These birds have been seen 6 to 10 times during the season when they are most common.
• (B) Breeding: These birds are known to build nests and raise their babies in the park.
• (B?) Possibly breeding: We think these birds might breed in the park, but it's not confirmed yet.
• (I) Introduced: These birds were brought to North America by people, either on purpose or by accident, and now live in Florida.
• (E) Extinct: This means the bird species no longer exists anywhere in the world.

This list follows a special scientific order called "taxonomic sequence," which groups birds by their families and how they are related. The names come from the American Ornithological Society (AOS) and Clements taxonomy.
