Birds in Lebanon

Our list for Lebanon has 159 bird species recorded regularly there: 17 residents, 19 summer visitors, 24 winter visitors, 87 passage migrants and 12 scarce visitors

The list comes from 51,000 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.
