Senegal, one of the most important places for birdwatching in the world, is home to a great number of species of birds that vary from residents (staying all year around) to breeding birds (spending a good part of the growing season in Senegal to raise their young), migrants (passing through Senegal with the seasons) to wintering birds (spending a good part of the winter in Senegal to escape colder conditions up north).
Among the list of birds species of Senegal are waterfowl and wading birds, song birds, raptors, game birds, swifts and nighthawks, etc., many of which occupy several ecosystems simultaneously, as they fly to and from forests, meadows, shorelines of waters, cities and and urban green spaces.
