During the festival, the teams navigated the complex terrain of southern Yunnan, leveraging their expertise to document the area's avian diversity. Notably, they recorded one national first-class protected bird species and 49 national second-class protected species.
The rapid survey provided an in-depth snapshot of the local avian diversity. Among the newly recorded species are the spot-winged starling, rufous-backed sibia, black-necked grebe, Von Schrenck's bittern, white-tailed nuthatch, and thick-billed warbler. Several newly discovered species will require further observation and documentation to confirm their presence.
