With hundreds of avian species on the Yucatan Peninsula, this is far from a complete list! New species will be added on an ongoing basis (last update 4/09). This information is not complete, nor is it intended to be a substitute for a guidebook; it is merely a quick briefing on species in the area that I have seen and photographed.

Identification information comes from the following souces as well as my personal observations: |
|
- A guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America - Steve NG Howell and Sophie Webb, Oxford University Press, reprint 2005
|
- Field Guide to the Birds of North America - National Geographic (Fourth Edition)
|
- A Field Guide to Mexican Birds - Roger Tory Peterson and Edward L. Chalif, Houghton Mifflin, 1973
