Senegal Checklist
(version française en bas)
The most accurate and most up-to-date checklist of the birds of Senegal, made available as a Google Spreadsheet through this link. Following IOC taxonomy (currently version 8.1), it contains English, French and scientific names, family, authority, status, and separate columns for global breeding and non-breeding range.
It’s a constant work in progress, and updates will be made as new species are found or new data becomes available. For more info on the checklist, see this post.
