摘要From January 1996 to January 1997, birds survey was carried out in 4 mangrove wetlands in Fujian. As a result, 92species, belonging to 55 genera, 27 families, and 13 orders were recorded. Among them， 29 species, 31.52 % of the total were passeriformes; 63 species, 68.48% of the total were nonpasseriformes. The survey revealed that the bird communities in Fujian mangrove wetlands had the features as follows: ①Nonpasseriformes was more than passeriformes. Wading birds were more abundant in bird communities. ②Farm birds were common and forest birds were scarce. ③Lack of endemic species. ④Winter visitors and passing migrants were dominant in bird communities. ⑤Migrant behaviors varied with species. ⑥Mangrove wetland is important for bird conservation, especially for egrets and migrant wadings.
