Checklist of the birds of Senegal Page 1 © ABC & Bob Dowsett 2007-2016 This country checklist has been developed by the African Bird Club (ABC) and Bob Dowsett for the use of birdwatchers, ornithologists and other travellers in Africa and its associated islands. You may use the information for your own purposes but if you wish to reproduce material for use in articles and books for example and / or for your own monetary gain, you should seek permission in advance from the African Bird Club at the e-mail address below. The records contained in the checklist are based on country lists in Dowsett, R.J. & Forbes-Watson, A.D. (1993) Checklist of Birds of the Afrotropical and Malagasy Regions, Volume 1: Species limits and distribution published by Tauraco Press, Liège, Belgium. The records were compiled from a number of referenced works and have been brought up to date with records published subsequently. The taxonomic sequence and naming conventions are those used by the African Bird Club. The checklist is provided on a best efforts basis and it is believed in good faith to be correct at the time of writing. Further information about your use of the checklists and the associated responsibilities of the African Bird Club can be found on the website at www.africanbirdclub.org. Key to status information A - Africa B - Breeding record confirmed E - locally Extinct including former breeding records I - Introduced species M - Migrant including on passage through this country N - Nearctic O - Oceanic P - breeds in Palearctic R - Resident SAT - Satellite record V - Vagrant W - Winters (non-breeding season) X - Rejected record § and ? - Uncertain record Combinations of these keys have been used throughout and should be self-explanatory but the following are some of the more common examples: RB - Resident in the country and breeding records confirmed; PW - breeds in the Palearctic and winters in the country; AM - Intra African Migrant; RB/PW - there is both a resident breeding population and a wintering population. We hope that you will find the checklist of value. We will continue to develop and improve the checklists and will incorporate new records as they become available. We welcome feedback on any aspect of the checklist including its format, errors and omissions which you can send to [email protected].
