Birds in Guatemala

Our list for Guatemala has 130 bird species recorded regularly there: 33 residents, 1 summer visitor, 63 winter visitors, 31 passage migrants and 2 scarce visitors

The list comes from 3.4 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.
