The IOC World Bird List 14.1 contains 11032 extant species (and 162 extinct species) classified in 44 Orders, 253 Families and 2,384 Genera.  The list also includes 19,802 subspecies, their ranges and authors.

SPECIES ADDED:                 39 extant species

SPECIES DELETED:               6 species

ENGLISH NAMES:                33 species

TAXONOMY:                         45 species (including 9 newly recognized or resurrected genera and 4 deleted genera)

Here is a listing, with of all the current Birds of the World which is better than any list we could produce here.

Before we can dig into these Latin/scientific names of birds, it is best to update the number of birds now listed by the I.O.C. Our last update here, which is out of date, was the List 9.2:

At the time those articles were written there were 10,758 living species. Now it contains 11,032. That doesn’t include all the subspecies. Not sure how much we will update this site, but I will refer to the new names and subspecies as we investigate the scientific/Latin names of birds.
