List of endemic birds of eastern North America

This article is one of a series providing information about endemism among birds in the World's various zoogeographic zones. For an overview of this subject see Endemism in birds.

This article covers eastern North America, i.e. the regions of the United States and Canada which lie east of the Rocky Mountains.

Patterns of endemism

There are no families endemic to this region, although a high proportion of the species in the following families are endemics or near-endemics:

the New World warblers, Parulidae

Endemic Bird Areas

Most bird species which are endemic to this region have ranges which are too large to qualify for Birdlife International's restricted-range endemic status; consequently, this region has no Endemic Bird Areas defined. However, there are two secondary areas, namely:

Michigan Jack pine savanna (code s003), the breeding grounds of Kirtland's warbler.
The Edwards Plateau (code s004), the breeding grounds of golden-cheeked warbler (and also an important area for black-capped vireo).
