Birds in Russia
288 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024
Our list for Russia has 288 bird species recorded regularly there: 43 residents, 159 summer visitors, 30 winter visitors, 48 passage migrants and 8 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 1.0 million 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.
