Checklist of Niokolo-Koba birds
Uploaded: Saturday 30 March 2024

In this list:

we present the 402 species of birds historically observed in Niokolo-Koba National Park, including two which can be considered as locally extinct. The list indicates historical patterns of observations of species when such patterns are evident; if only those species observed after 1992 are counted, 335 bird species would be considered as present in NKNP. The list is based on the one presented in the article John B Rose, Oliver JL Fox, Bram Piot & Philippe Delaporte (2023), The avifauna of Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal: a review of historical and recent ornithological records, Ostrich, 94:3, 137-177, DOI: 10.2989/00306525.2023.2270776; the data contained in it can be freely used and distributed provided that the above source is cited.
