List of birds of Saint Pierre and Miquelon

This is a list of bird species confirmed in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of Bird Checklists of the World as of May 2006. Since that date, no additional species have been added from eBird records. Of the 326 species on the checklist, 162 are rare or accidental. Three were introduced to North America. One additional species presented here is not on the checklist, but was formerly found in Saint Pierre and Miquelon and is known to be extinct.

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

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North American Birds, 7th edition through the 58th Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list.

The following tags are used to describe some categories of occurrence.
