Our list for Morocco has 218 bird species recorded regularly there: 74 residents, 21 summer visitors, 59 winter visitors, 54 passage migrants and 10 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 477,000 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.
