Mouling National Park is situated at E 940 41? 17.38?-E 940 59? 82? and N 280 28? 39?-N 280 41? 56?? in the Dihang- Dibang Biosphere Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, India. It covers an area of 483 km2. A bird list of 314 species, compiled from studies undertaken from 2010 to 2016 is presented along with information on status, conservation status and method of confirmation. In absence of adequate documented information on the biodiversity wealth in the national park, this study holds a lot of value and significance. Such information, as presented in this paper is crucial in order to develop conservation action plans for this protected area.
