Our list for Cayman Islands has 94 bird species recorded regularly there: 20 residents, 3 summer visitors, 23 winter visitors, 35 passage migrants and 13 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 266,000 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.
