<p indent="0mm">Birds are important functional groups in ecosystems and indicator species in biodiversity monitoring. The Shandong Changdao National Nature Reserve, characterized by its unique sea-island geography, primarily protects 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 validated by domestic ornithologists and includes 372 bird species, 193 genus, 71 families and 21 bird orders. The dataset provides 18 types of information for each bird species: the species Chinese name, the species Latin name, genus Latin name, family Chinese name, family Latin name, order Chinese name, order Latin name, ecological type, residency type, protection status at national and provincial levels in Shandong Province, IUCN Red List category, China Biodiversity Red List, CITES appendix, data sources, frequency of occurrence, fauna affiliation, and habitat type. Through comprehensive surveys and monitoring of bird species in Changdao National Nature Reserve, the dataset provides data support for the research on the spatial-temporal patterns of biodiversity, facilitate the collaborative conservation of bird populations, and contribute to the establishment of the Changdao National Park.
