Totally 217 bird species of 15 orders 47 families were recorded. Among them 119 species belong to migrants 57 species belong to summer bird 42 species belong to resident 20 species belong to winter birds 1 species belongs to vagrant and 3 species were escaped bird. There were 26 bird species in Yuanmingyuan are listed as second class of China National Protected Wildlife. The little grebe Tachybaptus ruficollis mallard Anas platyrhynchos and Eurasian blackbird Turdus merula were recorded as residents in Beijing and the Chinese Spot-billed duck A. poecilorhyncha zonorhyncha common teal A. crecca Orange-flanked bush robin Tarsiger cyanurus and Pallas s leaf warbler Phylloscopus proregulus were recorded as winter birds. Eurasian sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus was not only migrant bird but also recorded as wintering and summering in Beijing. The wetland complexity and hydrophyte plant diversity affect the bird structure in Yuanmingyuan Park. In the recent years the clear up of weeds and shrubs caused the decrease of buntings Emberizidae and Vinous-throted parrotbills Paradoxornis webbianus.
