List Of Birds Of Canada
This is a list of bird species confirmed in Canada. Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of ''Bird Checklists of the World'' as of July 2022. Of the 703 species listed here, 235 are accidental. Twelve species were introduced to North America or directly to Canada, three species are extinct, and three (possibly four) have been extirpated. One species of uncertain origin is also included. This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the ''Check-list of North and Middle American Birds'', 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). Common and scientific names are also those of the ''Check-list'', except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.

Perisoreus Canadensis Mercier2
The genus ''Perisoreus'' is a very small genus of jays from the Boreal ecosystem, Boreal regions of North America and Eurasia from Scandinavia to the Asian seaboard. An isolated species also occurs in north-western Szechuan province of China. They belong to the Passerine order of birds in the family Corvidae. Not closely related to other birds known as jays, they are instead related to the genus ''Cyanopica''. The genus was introduced by the French zoologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1831. The type species was subsequently designated as the Canada jay. The name of the genus may come from the Ancient Greek ''perisōreuō'' "to heap up" or "bury beneath". Alternatively it may be from the Latin ''peri-'' "very" or "exceedingly" and ''sorix'', a bird of augury dedicated to Saturn. Species The genus contains three species.
