This list of birds of Idaho includes species documented in the U.S. state of Idaho and accepted by the Idaho Bird Records Committee (IBRC). As of July 2013, there were 426 species on the official list.[1] Of them, 176 are review species in part or all of the state.(see note)[2] Eight species found in Idaho have been introduced to North America.

Between 2013 when the official list was published and July 2018, seven additional species have been photographically documented in the state.[3] These species are also included in this list, though their reports are pending with the IBRC.

Only birds that are considered to have established, self-sustaining, wild populations in Idaho are included on this list. This means that birds that are considered probable escapees, although they may have been sighted flying free in Idaho, are not included.

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North American Birds, 7th edition through the 59th Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[4][5] Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list.

The following tags have been used to annotate some species:

  • (R) Review species - Species which are rare enough in some part of Idaho that the IBRC requests detailed reports of sightings
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly

2. ^For some species, the IBRC requires detailed reports only from one part of the state. Such entries on this list are tagged with the most conservative requirement. For instance, a species which is reviewable only in the Panhandle will be tagged (R), just like a species which is reviewable statewide. However, species which are reviewable only in their "off" season, for instance many warblers in winter or Ross's goose in summer, are not tagged here.
