Birds of Argentina by Alec Earnshaw.

The avifauna of Argentina include a total of 1026 species, of which 19 are endemic, 7 have been introduced by humans, and 70 are rare or accidental. Of these, 45 of the species are globally threatened.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 5th edition.

The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Argentina. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories.

The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories. (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Argentina (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Argentina (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Argentina as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions.
