Birds in Colombia

108 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Colombia has 108 bird species recorded regularly there: 38 residents, 5 summer visitors, 46 winter visitors, 18 passage migrants and 1 scarce visitor.

The list comes from 20 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.
