The list of the species of birds in Mongolia is based primarily on Formin, V.E. and A. Bold. 1991. Catalogue of the Birds Of the Mongolian People's Republic. Additional species have been documented since then and there have been a few changes in the accepted taxonomy. We will be updating the lists to reflect current information on biodiversity.

As they become available, pages with information on the species and their parasites will be added.
