Indiana's Official State Bird Checklist contains 418 species for which there is adequate evidence, either verified evidence (specimen, photograph, etc.) or convincing details, and for which origin is not questioned. At the end of the Checklist are species categorized as Origin Hypothetical. Species designated as Origin Hypothetical involve single records of that species where the correct identification has been established but for which origin is unresolved. See the Seasonal Checklist for additional information for species appearing on the Official Bird Checklist.

| ORIGIN HYPOTHETICAL |
|
[return to top] |
| Species designated as "Origin Hypothetical" pertain to records where the bird has been correctly identified but the species has not demonstrated prior vagrancy. Therefore the issue of origin is unresolved. Such species are not included in the Official Checklist total and are not considered as either accepted or not accepted by the Indiana Bird Records Committee. |
