Bird species that I have seen in Taiwan, including Kinmen National Park. All the names were directly taken from the Mandarin field guide to birds of Taiwan published in 1991, so many of the common names are different from standarized world lists. The names of the following species were changed because of reclassification or obvious typo errors: Oriental White Stork (White Stork), Besra Sparrow Hawk (Japanese Lesser Sparrow Hawk), Pacific Golden Plover (American Golden Plover), Lanyu Scops Owl (Scops Owl), and Spotted Dove (Spooted Dove).
