This is a complete list of the birds known in the park—347 species as of
June 1, 1985—along with a key indicating the abundance and seasonal
occurrence of each species. As noted in this list many birds are known
in the park from only a few sightings. A few are exotic birds that have
escaped captivity. Species considered exotic to Everglades Park are
marked with an asterisk (*). Users can contribute to updating future
lists by carefully recording details of their observations of less
common species and reporting that information to park personnel. For
purposes of this listing the seasons are as follows:
Spring: March 1 to May 31
Summer: June 1 to July 31
Fall: August 1 to November 15
Winter: November 16 to February 28
