Birds in Belize

Our list for Belize has 129 bird species recorded regularly there: 29 residents, 1 summer visitor, 55 winter visitors, 39 passage migrants and 5 scarce visitors

The list comes from 4.8 million 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.
