Birds in Kazakhstan

227 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Kazakhstan has 227 bird species recorded regularly there: 26 residents, 80 summer visitors, 33 winter visitors, 83 passage migrants and 5 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 191,000 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.
