El Salvador is home to a diverse range of bird species due to its varied ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, wetlands, and coastal areas. Notable birds include the endemic Torogoz (Eumomota superciliosa), the national bird, as well as the colorful Scarlet Macaw, various hummingbirds, and numerous species of hawks and shorebirds. Birdwatching is popular, especially in places like the El Imposible National Park and the coastal areas. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these species and their habitats.
