Compiled by Michael Mills

Last updated: 7 June 2006

What follows is a complete, annotated list of Angolan birds, based on Dean (2000), but following the taxonomy of [Dickinson EC (Editor). 2003. The Howard & Moore Complete Checklist of the Birfs of the World. Chrisopher Helm, Londo.]. Please note that this is a list in progress, and will be updated reguarly as new information becomes available. Any changes/additions/deletions to/from Dean (2000) are noted (see details below) and citations given with full details in the reference list. Here I favour the splitting of taxa to highlight unique biodiversity. I do not claim to be a taxonomic authority, and individuals should decide for themselves whether or not to accept taxa as species.

+ denotes a taxon listed in Dean (2000), but not as a separate species, or under a different name
++ denotes species not listed as confirmed in Dean (2000)
- denotes a species removed from the list, but listed in Dean (2000)

TOTAL LIST = 942 species
