Because of the large number of changes in the list and necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a long series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

  • Revise the references, counts, and text in the introduction.
  • Add a family and 3 species per Lepage. Text is derived from the family's article; see it for original sources.
  • Revise 5 genera.
  • Replace 2 species due to splits.
  • Revise multiple families' common names per Clements.
  • Revise the sequence of genera in family Trochilidae (Hummingbirds).
