在民國八十五年二月至六月，在金門四個主要的鳥類棲地，從事短期野鳥的觀察紀錄，期間所觀察的野鳥種數變化，以四月份停棲的鳥種最多，達112種；六月份最少，僅有54種。在本段調查期間，冬候鳥是觀察紀錄最多的鳥類，共有48種；其次是留鳥，共有41種；之後為過境鳥，有34種；夏候鳥最少，僅有10 種而已。若以觀察紀錄的鳥口總數而言：以三月份的鳥口總數最多，達4802隻，六月份最少，僅有1163隻。期間以三月份停棲的冬候鳥最多，達3193 之，其次是留鳥，在四月份有1282隻的記錄。
就慈湖、田墩、水頭及陵水湖等四個金門主要的鳥類棲地的鳥類停棲狀況，其中以慈湖的鳥況最豐富。在調查期間，平均各月份可觀察到的鳥種約70種之眾，鳥口總數也最多；其次是水頭和田墩，平均各月份可觀察到的鳥種分別是44種、40種。陵水湖因棲地範圍最小，鳥類停棲狀況不甚穩定，平均各月份可觀察到的鳥種約31種。
因本次調查記錄的時間僅有短短五個月，在記錄的數據方向，不甚完整，有待長期多年觀察數據的輸入處理，始能獲得更可靠的分析資料。
Abstract
This is a brief study of the abundance, distribution, and species of the birds at the four most favorite birding spots of kinmen : Tzu-hu, Tien-tun, Shui-to, and Lngshui-hu beetwn February and March, 1996.
During the five-month period, April enjoys the largest number of species—112, while June the lowest—54. Of the total 133 species recorded, 48 are winter visitors, 41 are residents, 34 are travelers or stragglers, and only 10 are summer visitors.
In numbers, 4802 birds have been recorded in March, including 3193 winter visitors; while only 1163 are recorded in June, with the departing of winter visitors.
Among the four birding spots, Tzu-hu, 44 and 40 respectively; and Lingshui-hu 31, being the smallest in area.
Within such a short period of time it is quite unlikely to obtain a detailed study of the birds in kinmen, but with continuous observations these findings could be both significant and valuable.
