Birds in Azerbaijan

212 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Azerbaijan has 212 bird species recorded regularly there: 26 residents, 25 summer visitors, 35 winter visitors, 120 passage migrants and 6 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 92,000 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.
