Japanese Bird List

This species list relies on The Check-list of Japanese Birds(8th edition) edited by The Ornithological Society of Japan.

However, the classification (order, family) bases on the latest IOC list (Version 15.1).

Additionally, there are differences in scientific names or Japanese names between "The Check-list of Japanese Birds(8th edition)" and the latest IOC list. Both are listed in the "List of Japanese Birds" (csv) above, so please make use of it.

Note that the following is not included in this list, as it does not exist in the newest IOC list(Version 12.2):
