With minor changes, the list and the status of each species follows the checklist compiled by Dr. E. J. Wilhelm, Jr., June, 1966. Charles E. Stevens provided the habitat data. Common names follow the A.O.U. Check-list of North American Birds, 5th Edition, 1957. Where no habitat symbol appears, either the species is generally seen flying, it is rare, or its habitat use within the park has not been determined.

Occurrence symbols: A accidental, unexpected because extra-limital, only one park record; O occasional, two to eight park records; R rare, occurs at wide intervals, usually in small numbers; U uncommon, occurs in small numbers in limited habitats; C common, occurs regularly in suitable habitats
Seasonal symbols: Sp spring; Su summer; F fall; W winter
Status symbols: r resident, present throughout year, breeds in park; b breeder, breeds in park in summer, spends cooler months south; t transient, passes through park in migration, non-breeder; v visitor, wanders into park in summer or winter, non-breeder.
