A dataset of the bird species list in Changdao National Nature Reserve of Shandong Province from 1984 to 2023

Birds are important functional groups in ecosystems and indicator species in biodiversity monitoring. The Shandong Changdao National Nature Reserve is characterized as the unique geographical conditions with a series of sea islands, which mainly protect migratory raptors, seabirds and their habitats. In this paper, based on the multi-source data including the bird banding data from 1984 to 2022, bird surveys in 2022 and 2023, local bird watching records and relevant literatures, we sorted out a dataset of bird species list for Changdao National Nature Reserve of Shandong Province. The dataset was reviewed and confirmed by the domestic ornithologists, including 372 bird species, 193 genus, 71 families and 21 bird orders. The dataset was composed of 18 sets of information for each bird species, such as the species Chinese name, the species Latin name, Genus Latin name, family Chinese name, family Latin name, order Chinese name, order Latin name, ecological types, residency types, protection class of China and Shandong Province, IUCN Red List, China Biodiversity Red List, CITES, data sources, frequency of occurrence, fauna and habitat types. Through comprehensive survey and monitoring of bird species in Changdao National Nature Reserve, the dataset provides data support for the research on the spatial-temporal pattern of biodiversity, the collaborative conservation of bird populations, and the establishment of national park in Changdao.
