74 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024
Our list for Guadeloupe has 74 bird species recorded regularly there: 12 residents, 5 summer visitors, 23 winter visitors, 26 passage migrants and 8 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 229,000 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.
