Skimmers are a small family of tropical tern-like birds. They have an elongated lower mandible which they use to feed by flying low over the water surface and skimming the water for small fish. *Black-legged kittiwake, ''Rissa tridactyla'' *Red-legged kittiwake, ''Rissa brevirostris'' *Ivory gull, ''Pagophila eburnea'' *Sabine's gull, ''Xema sabini'' *Saunders's gull, ''Saundersilarus saundersi'' *Slender-billed gull, ''Chroicocephalus genei'' *Bonaparte's gull, ''Chroicocephalus philadelphia'' *Silver gull, ''Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae'' *Gray-hooded gull, ''Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus'' *Black-headed gull, ''Chroicocephalus ridibundus'' *Brown-headed gull, ''Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus'' *Little gull, ''Hydrocoloeus minutus'' *Ross's gull, ''Rhodostethia rosea'' *Laughing gull, ''Leucophaeus atricilla'' (A) *Franklin's gull, ''Leucophaeus pipixcan'' *Dolphin gull, ''Leucophaeus scoresbii'' *Mediterranean gull, ''Ichthyaetus melanocephalus'' *Relict gull, ''Ichthyaetus relictus'' *White-eyed gull, ''Ichthyaetus leucophthalmus'' *Sooty gull, ''Ichthyaetus hemprichii'' *Pallas's gull, ''Ichthyaetus ichthyaetus'' *Audouin's gull, ''Ichthyaetus audouinii'' *Black-tailed gull, ''Larus crassirostris'' *Common gull, ''Larus canus'' (A) *Short-billed gull, ''Larus brachyrhynchus'' (A) *Ring-billed gull, ''Larus delawarensis'' *Western gull, ''Larus occidentalis'' (A) *California gull, ''Larus californicus'' *Herring gull, ''Larus argentatus'' *Yellow-legged gull, ''Larus michahellis'' (A) *Caspian gull, ''Larus cachinnans'' *Armenian gull, ''Larus armenicus'' *Iceland gull, ''Larus glaucoides'' *Lesser black-backed gull, ''Larus fuscus'' *Slaty-backed gull, ''Larus schistisagus'' *Glaucous-winged gull, ''Larus glaucescens'' *Glaucous gull, ''Larus hyperboreus'' *Great black-backed gull, ''Larus marinus'' *Kelp gull, ''Larus dominicanus'' *Pacific gull, ''Larus pacificus'' *Brown noddy, ''Anous stolidus'' *Black noddy, ''Anous minutus'' *Lesser noddy, ''Anous tenuirostris'' *Grey noddy, ''Anous albivitta'' *Blue-gray noddy, ''Procelsterna ceruleus'' *White tern, ''Gygis alba'' *Sooty tern, ''Onychoprion fuscatus'' *Gray-backed tern, ''Onychoprion lunatus'' *Bridled tern, ''Onychoprion anaethetus'' *Aleutian tern, ''Onychoprion aleuticus'' *Little tern, ''Sternula albifrons'' *Least tern, ''Sternula antillarum'' *Saunders's tern, ''Sternula saundersi'' *Australian fairy tern, ''Sternula nereis'' *Gull-billed tern, ''Gelochelidon nilotica'' *Caspian tern, ''Hydroprogne caspia'' *Black tern, ''Chlidonias niger'' *White-winged tern, ''Chlidonias leucopterus'' *Whiskered tern, ''Chlidonias hybrida'' *Roseate tern, ''Sterna dougallii'' *Black-naped tern, ''Sterna sumatrana'' *Common tern, ''Sterna hirundo'' *Arctic tern, ''Sterna paradisaea'' *Black-bellied tern, ''Sterna acuticauda'' *River tern, ''Sterna aurantia'' *White-cheeked tern, ''Sterna repressa'' *White-fronted tern, ''Sterna striata'' *Antarctic tern, ''Sterna vittata'' *Forster's tern, ''Sterna forsteri'' *Great crested tern, ''Thalasseus bergii'' *Sandwich tern, ''Thalasseus sandvicensis'' *Lesser crested tern, ''Thalasseus bengalensis'' *Chinese crested tern, ''Thalasseus bernsteini'' *Royal tern, ''Thalasseus maximus'' *Elegant tern, ''Thalasseus elegans'' *African skimmer, ''Rynchops flavirostris'' *Indian skimmer, ''Rynchops albicollis'' *Black skimmer, ''Rynchops niger'' *Swallow-tailed gull, ''Creagrus furcatus''

New World sparrows

Order: PasseriformesFamily: Passerellidae Until 2017, these species were considered part of the family Emberizidae.

Many of these have distinctive head patterns. *Chipping sparrow, ''Spizella passerina'' *American tree sparrow, ''Spizelloides arborea'' (A) *Fox sparrow, ''Passerella iliaca'' *White-crowned sparrow, ''Zonotrichia leucophrys'' (A) *Golden-crowned sparrow, ''Zonotrichia atricapilla'' *White-throated sparrow, ''Zonotrichia albicollis'' *Rufous-collared sparrow, ''Zonotrichia capensis'' *Savannah sparrow, ''Passerculus sandwichensis''

Order: PasseriformesFamily: Icteridae The icterids are a group of small to medium-sized, often colourful, passerine birds restricted to the New World and include the grackles, New World blackbirds and New World orioles. Most species have black as the predominant plumage colour, often enlivened by yellow, orange or red. *Rusty blackbird, ''Euphagus carolinus'' (A)


New World warblers

Order: PasseriformesFamily: Parulidae The New World warblers are a group of small, often colourful, passerine birds restricted to the New World. Most are arboreal, but some are terrestrial. Most members of this family are insectivores. *Northern waterthrush, ''Parkesia noveboracensis'' (A)


Tanagers and allies

Order: PasseriformesFamily: Thraupidae The tanagers are a large group of small to medium-sized passerine birds restricted to the New World, mainly in the tropics. Many species are brightly colored.
