Abstract: In 2012, 2013 and 2015, bird community and diversity were investigated during summering in Santan Scenic Area, Hubei province. Our results showed 66 bird species belong to 11 orders, 31 families. The Shannon-wiener index is 1.464, species evenness is 0.884. Although bird species did not vary, the numbers of bird species declined during years. Compared to the old Scenic Area, the total bird species from three years was similar, but the number of bird species significantly declined in every year. Our results suggested that the large-scale renovation project of the scenic spot affected bird community and diversity.
