Our list for Algeria has 160 bird species recorded regularly there: 17 residents, 7 summer visitors, 31 winter visitors, 81 passage migrants and 24 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 24,000 birdwatchers' records from 2019–2024, shared through the eBird Observation Dataset on GBIF. A bird is listed when it was recorded in at least 3 of the 6 years and has a Birdfact species guide, so more species occur here than are listed; the months show when it is recorded most years.
