There is an excellent resource available for anyone who would like to study the birds that can be found resident or on migratory passage through the Cape Verde islands. While the Checklist for the Birds of Cape Verde prepared by the African Bird Club and Bob Dowsett is offered as a free download, permission should be sought if you wish to reproduce the list or use material from it for your own financial gain.
Also although the download is free, donations are encouraged in acknowledgement of the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining the list.
There are other Birding Cape Verde resources available on the internet. For example, click on the picture of a young Brown Booby to find a species list and photographs of the many birds taken on a birding trip by Stuart Piner and Chris Bell of the Fylde Bird Club of Lancashire Abroad to Cape Verde in March 2007.
On that trip the two birders spotted all but one of their target species ( missing out only the Cape Verde Peregrine which is apparently very rare).
