List of birds of Biscayne National Park
# List of birds of Biscayne National Park

This is a comprehensive listing of bird species recorded in Biscayne National Park, which is in the U.S. state of Florida. This list is based on one published by the National Park Service (NPS) with species confirmed through December 21, 2017. The list contains 213 species, of which 12 are accidental and eight have been introduced (see below). With one exception, introduced species recorded in the Park that do not have established populations according to the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC) are not included here.

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.

The following status codes have been used to annotate some species:

* (A) Accidental - a species that occurs rarely or accidentally in Florida, and for which the FOSRC requests a full report for verification
* (I) Introduced - a species that has been introduced to North America by the actions of humans, either directly or indirectly, and has become established in Florida
