Checklists of New Zealand Birds
July 4th, 2024
Amongst the earliest publications of the Ornithological Society were checklists of New Zealand birds. To make these better known and be easily accessible to members, the four earlier versions of the checklist of New Zealand birds published by the Checklist Committee of the Society may now be read and downloaded from the Historical Publications webpage.
- 2010. Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand, Norfolk and Macquarie Islands, and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica
B.J. Gill, Convenor - 1990. Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica
E.G. Turbott, Convenor - 1970. Annotated Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand, including birds of the Ross Dependency
F. C. Kinsky, Convenor - 1953. Checklist of New Zealand Birds
C.A. Fleming, Convenor.
In addition, Amendments and additions to the 1970 Annotated Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand was published as a supplement to Notornis Vol. 27 (1980). This is not a full checklist and needs to be read in conjunction with the 1970 checklist.
The current Checklist is available to read and download here
