During the early spring migration and just later, the Gobi comes to life with many migrating birds grabbing on to any available tree in the region. The migration period is spectacular for birds on routes between southern Asia and Siberia for songbirds, ducks and waders. In addition, there are many spectacular resident birds in exceptional environments.

It is considered bad luck to hunt and shoot birds, why they are not hunted at all. However, there is illegal and legal trade with the numerous Saker Falcons. They are in high demand for falconry in the Middle East Gulf states. You would see around 20-30 of Sakers on this journey. Greater Sand Plover (Charadrius eschenaultii) is found every where in the Gobi. Swan Goose is seen in most lakes. And relatively large numbers of Demoiselle Cranes and Upland Buzzard.
