Wings Over Florida Birding Checklist

The printed checklist booklet was last revised in 2007 and contains 501 species. Either version may be used to apply for WOF certificates.

All species in the checklist include birds for which there is at least one "verified" Florida record.  Verified records are photos, specimens, or voice recordings of birds that have been reviewed and accepted by the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC).  Accidentals, birds that stray into Florida (without human assistance) from other parts of the United States, the Caribbean or other countries, are countable towards WOF certificates. Please note that no other nonnative species may be counted towards Wings Over Florida certificates.

For more information on the official rules and to view and print other Wings Over Florida materials, please visit the How To Apply page.
