This list follows the order of the list in A Guide to Bird-watching in Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands by Robert S.R. Williams, Brinley J. Best, and Tom Heijnen. Nomenclature also follows this list but has been adapted to U.S. American usage. A few taxonomic changes reflect newer treatments as covered in An Annotated List of the Birds of Mainland Ecuador by Robert S. Ridgely, Paul J. Greenfield, and Mauricio Guerrero G.
