The Birds Korea Checklist 2024
Researching and updating checklist for the birds of Korea, with best available data, for an overview in determining conservation priorities.
Simplified 2024 Birds Korea Checklist
Dr. Nial Moores & Dr Ha Jungmoon, August 17th 2024 (with one revision made on August 27th).
Below, as a pdf download and as an extended blog post, follows a simplified version of the English-language 2024 Birds Korea Checklist, which aims to list the English, scientific and Korean names, and the conservation status, of every bird species which has been reliably recorded in the wild in the Republic of Korea up to the end of July 2024.
The simplified 2024 Birds Korea Checklist follows the IOC Checklist Version 14.1 (with two differences in taxonomic opinion marked with an asterisk; and multiple revisions from IOC Checklist Version 14.2 also included). The intention is to post a fully annotated Birds Korea checklist (including breeding code, seasonality, abundance codes and an indication of population trend in the ROK) later in 2024 or as schedules allow, at which time additional taxonomic revisions contained in Version 14.2 (yet to be added to the Family Index on the World Bird Names website) will also be adopted.
Please let us know if you see anything in need of correction: thank you!
(NOTE: Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius 꼬마물떼새 was accidentally omitted from an earlier version and was re-added on August 27th)
