七股濕地長期鳥類監測調查資料集

Dataset of long-term bird monitoring in Qigu wetlands, Taiwan

七股地處臺灣西南沿海，有豐富的天然濕地與定期曬池魚塭分布，為許多遷徙性水鳥提供良好棲地，是東亞澳遷徙線上之重要節點。國際瀕危鳥種黑面琵鷺每年約有15-20％的度冬族群棲息於七股，國際鳥盟亦將此地劃設為重要野鳥棲地。特有生物研究保育屯心（農業部生物多樣性研究所前身）於2015年4月開始執行七股濕地之長期鳥類監測計畫，於6個調查樣點進行每月1次之鳥類調查，截至2021年3月累計進行432次樣點調查，取得11,533筆鳥類調查紀錄，包含36科120種100,601隻次。其中最優勢的科別為鷺科，其次依序為鷸科、鴨科、長腳鷸科及鴴科。

Qigu, located on the southwest coast of Taiwan, is one of the internationally significant sites in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Various types of waterbirds inhabit this region due to its distributed natural wetlands and periodically drained fish farms. Qigu also supports approximately 15-20% of the wintering population of the globally endangered black-faced spoonbills (Platalea minor) and has been designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute (TESRI) (currently known as Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, TBRI) initiated a long-term systematic bird monitoring project in Qigu in 2015. In the period from April, 2015, to March, 2021, monthly bird censuses were conducted at six sampling sites within Qigu, resulting in 432 sampling events and 11,533 occurrence records. A total of 100,601 bird individuals, representing 120 species across 36 families, were counted and documented. The most dominant family is Ardeidae, followed by Scolopacidae, Anatidae, Recurvirostridae, and Charadriidae.
