Birds in Mongolia

Our list for Mongolia has 199 bird species recorded regularly there: 8 residents, 110 summer visitors, 23 winter visitors, 56 passage migrants and 2 scarce visitors

The list comes from 352,000 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.
