[ ] Hypothetical species
Of the 478 species documented to have occurred in Kansas, three species are not included in this list because they no longer occur. The Passenger Pigeon and Carolina Parakeet are extinct, and the Gunnison Sage-Grouse has been extirpated from the state.
The taxonomic sequence and nomenclature used in this list follow the Checklist of North American Birds, 7th edition, American Ornithologists Union, 1998, updated through the 58th Supplement, 2017, The Auk: Ornithological Advances 134:XXX-XXX.
