Abstract：The research work of bird banding in Nenjiang County peak forest (Heilongjiang Province) was carried out from 2001 to 2010. A total of 238 672 birds belong to 14 orders, 41 families and 173 species including 142 species from spring and 147 species from fall were collected Migrating birds such as little bunting Emberiza pusilla, red-fblue bush robin Tarsiger cyanurus, yellow-browed warbler Phylloscopus inornatus, chestnut bunting E. rutila, yellow-browed bunting E. chrysophrys, brambling Fringilla montifringilla, rustic bunting E. rustica and siskin Carduelis spinus were the dominant species (73.5%) of spring. Migrating birds such as redpoll Carduelis flammea, siskin, rustic bunting, brambling, yellow-browed warbler, coal tit and Siberian rosefinch were the dominant species (72.8%) of autumn. After statistical analysis of meteorological factor in the average temperature, maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, average vapor pressure, the daily minimum air pressure, the daily maximum air pressure, relative humidity, the average surface temperature, average wind speed, maximum wind speed, maximum wind speed, wind direction, sunshine duration and dominant species of migratory birds in the spring and fall, strong correlations were observed among the average surface temperature, daily maximum temperature and bird migration. Moreover, in the spring, bird migration was significant correlated with daily maximum air pressure, whereas in the autumn, sunshine duration and relative humidity were negatively correlated in bird migration.
