Birds of Vermont

The list of birds published by the Vermont Birds Record Committee (VBRC) enlists around 380 species as inhabiting the state. The passenger pigeon is the only extinct species.

Among the big birds living here, some prominent ones include the sharp-shinned hawk and the red-tailed hawk. On the other hand, the backyard birds such as the blue jay, black-capped chickadee, and song sparrow, are some of the small birds of Vermont.

The hermit thrush, noted for its sweet call, has been Vermont’s state bird since 1941.
