Abstract:The Khanka Lake of Heilongjiang Province is located in northeast China, and shared between China and Russia. Waterbird conservation at Khanka Lake is highly concerned by the governments and conservation organizations of China and neighboring countries. We analyzed the waterbird migration patterns of Khanka Lake by summarizing of the banding and recovery data. During 2010 to 2019, of 968 waterbird individuals totally banded, we got 29 records of recovery of 23 individuals, including six White-naped Cranes, eight Oriental White Storks, three Spot-billed Ducks, three Mallards, seven Shovellers, one Tufted Duck and one Bean Goose (Appendix). By analyzing these data, we discovered some important points of waterbird migration patterns, and confirmed the importance of Khanka Lake as a key corridor on the waterbird migration in northeast Asia (Fig.1), and further provided scientific basis for joint conservation of waterbird between China and neighboring countries.
