Our list for Uzbekistan has 157 bird species recorded regularly there: 5 residents, 16 summer visitors, 7 winter visitors, 121 passage migrants and 8 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 47,000 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.
