SYSTEMATIC LIST OF BIRDS for BRAZIL,

Jan Vermeulen

This list follows the taxonomy, names and sequence of James F. Clements (Birds of the World, A Check List, Fifth Edition, 2000). This fifth edition follows the higher taxonomic sequence outlined in the "Handbook of the Birds of the World" series published by Lynx Edicions.

Species in brackets are the English names in "Birding Brazil, A Checklist and Site Guide" by Bruce C. Forrester, but only mentioned when these differ significantly from the Clements Check List.

The Dutch names follow the "Complete Checklist, Vogels van de Wereld" of Michael Walters. Numbers quoted are estimates of the minimum numbers seen.

The following abbreviations are used:
