Birds in Honduras

128 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Honduras has 128 bird species recorded regularly there: 30 residents, 2 summer visitors, 54 winter visitors, 38 passage migrants and 4 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 2.0 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.
