中華民國野鳥學會於10月16日召開會員代表大會，大會無異議通過基隆市野鳥學會（基隆鳥會）的提案－「建議遊隼從目前可以合法進口及人工繁殖的5種猛禽中除名」，中華鳥會近日將行文主管機關，表達希望遊隼能從合法進口名單中除名的訴求。

中華民國野鳥學會（中華鳥會）於2021年代表水雉生態教育園區正式加入「國際里山倡議夥伴關係網絡（IPSI）」，成為第279個成員，也是台灣第18個成功加入IPSI的組織。

Results of the 2021 Taiwan Black-faced Spoonbill Census revealed a total of 3,132 wintering in Taiwan proper and its outlying islands, up 347 from the year before and a new record. With annual census numbers consistently showing 50% to 60% of the global population, Taiwan is one of the most critical habitat areas for the iconic and globally threatened species. This year’s survey lasted from January 16-17, with results released on April 14.

The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation and the Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute officially announce the publication of the State of Taiwan's Birds 2020. Government, academia, and civil society came together to create this first-of-its-kind report, an important milestone in Taiwan's bird conservation work. It is the first comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of Taiwan's birds, integrating data collected through long-term citizen science projects and scientific studies. It also provides in-depth analysis of overall species population trends, the status of specific bird groups, current threats, and conservation strategies and actions.

就在11月7日，來自屏東的陳姓鳥友在將軍濕地記錄到諾氏鷸回來了！之後有又另一位郭姓鳥友也記錄到諾氏鷸，而且還是一次兩隻！這種全世界估計剩下不到1500隻的瀕危水鳥，一次出現兩隻是非常難得的紀錄。經查詢eBird Taiwan鳥類紀錄資料庫網站，這是自2016年起，諾氏鷸連續第五年出現在將軍區的濕地。再度驗證了水鳥對於棲地的忠誠度很高，只要棲地的完整性與品質都能夠維持住，不受開發、汙染、過度人為干擾等破壞的活動，水鳥通常會每年回到同一個地點度冬。相信在接下來幾年，只要保持將軍濕地的良好狀況，全國甚至全世界想看諾氏鷸和東亞各種遷徙性水鳥的鳥友，都能繼續在這塊濕地上看到牠們的身影。
