Birds in Cambodia

80 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Cambodia has 80 bird species recorded regularly there: 22 residents, 35 winter visitors, 14 passage migrants and 9 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 689,000 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.
