Part #1 of this List of Argentina Birds: Tinamous thru Flycatchers


There have been 13 FONT birding tours in Argentina.
692 species of birds have cumulatively been seen during FONT Argentina tours.  

Generally the taxonomy in this list (parts 1 & 2) confirms with the Howard & Moore  "Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World", 3rd edition, edited by Edward Dickinson. Also some taxonomy has been incorporated from "The Birds of Ecuador - Status, Distribution, and Taxonomy" by Robert S. Ridgely and Paul J. Greenfield, published in 2001. More recently, both taxonomic order & nomenclature here are from "Birds of the World - Recommended English Names" by Frank Gill & Minturn Wright (published in 2006).

(ARqe): quasi (or nearly) endemic to Argentina
(ARi): introduced species in Argentina
(ARr): rare in Argentina

(t): a globally threatened or rare species, designated by Birdlife International
(t1): critical (t2): endangered (t3): vulnerable
(nt): a near-threatened species globally
