Birds in Vietnam

94 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Vietnam has 94 bird species recorded regularly there: 22 residents, 1 summer visitor, 39 winter visitors, 27 passage migrants and 5 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 376,000 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.
