Aves Japonesas

P = permanent resident or year-round visitor
S = summer visitor or breeder
W = winter visitor or breeder
M = spring or fall migrant / wanderer / transient

c = common to abundant (likely to be seen on every outing in appropriate habitat)
f = fairly common, not uncommon, or of irregular occurrence
r = rare (probably present but in very small numbers) or occurs seldom
i = isolated populations (local; occurs in some appropriate habitat but not others)
acc = accidental (vagrant; straggler; out of normal range and few observations)
E = extinct or extirpated from Japan
F = feral (introduced and breeding)
N = endemic species
? = possible or suspect record(s)

Japanese names are entirely phonetic; but remember that there are no diphthongs-- each vowel is pronounced separately, including double vowels. Japanese vowels are as in fAther, skI rUe, grEat, fOe

Status and distribution based on The Birds of Japan, Brazil, Christopher Helm, London, 1991. Annotation does not necessarily reflect strict adherence to extant records, but strives to give a feeling for the likelihood of encountering the species in Japan.
