Our list for Latvia has 215 bird species recorded regularly there: 36 residents, 92 summer visitors, 26 winter visitors, 57 passage migrants and 4 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 163,000 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.
