Since 2000, with the improvement of the city's bird survey and monitoring, the growing group of bird watchers, the species record of wild birds in Shanghai has continued to increase, and more and more rare bird species have been recorded. Interestingly, a significant portion of the new record belongs to marine birds, almost all of which are "blown" into inland areas by high winds in typhoon climates.

According to statistics, since 2011, among the 75 species of wild birds newly recorded in Shanghai, a total of 9 species of distant-water seabirds are related to typhoon climate, in addition to the white-crowned terns this time, there are also black terns, brown-winged terns, white-waisted terns, medium-tailed grebes, white-fronted round-tailed grebes, wedge-tailed grebes, gray storks and large warship birds.

These seabirds, which are carried inland by typhoon winds, choose rivers or bays as landmarks for their return to the ocean, so they are usually found along the Huangpu River, Yangtze River and Hangzhou Bay. Among them, there are many stork seabirds that may be hungry to the point of exhaustion because they have been inland for too long and have nowhere to feed, or even land directly on the streets of downtown areas, and then be picked up by enthusiastic citizens and handed over to wildlife protection authorities for shelter and rescue.
