Under the project Saker Falcon in Central Asia we visited pine forests in north-eastern Kazakhstan since 20 April to 17 May 2006. We moved by vehicle along the edge of forest on the distance 100-300 m and stopped between every 2-3 km for observing the largest trees through a telescope and finding nests of raptors. Locations of found nests we identified with GPS Garmin 72. After that all new data included in the database in GIS. A total of route length along forests in the Pavlodar and Vostochno-Kazakhstankaya districts was 1485 km. We found 10 nests of the Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug), 31 nests of the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca), 3 nests of the Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and a nest of the Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) during 2 weeks since 24 April. For distinguishing the size clutch and approximate dates of breeding period we checked one nest where found 5 eggs on 26 April. From two nests that had been found in 2005 the first nest was empty, the second was destroyed (the nesting pine was sawed down by woodcutters). During our work since 8 to 17 May in pine forests in the Semipalatinsk district we found 4 nests of the Imperial Eagle, 3 nests of the Saker Falcon and the Goshawk each, 2 nests of the Booted Eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) and per a nest of the Great Spotted Eagle (Aquila clanga) and Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) each. The distance between two nests of Sakers that were found on 8 May was 3,48 km. We surveyed the eastern forest belt and a forest part from Russian border to the Irtysh river since 11 to 17 May. The total length of circle route around that forests was 321 km. The single nest of the Saker Fslcon with hatching bird was found on 16 May near Zhernovka village. The Imperial Eagle was a rare species too for that region we found only 2 nests for a week. From two nests that had been checked last year and located along our route one nest was occupied by the Imperial Eagle another nest was with the signs of occupancy but empty at the moment of visiting. On the southern edge of forest along the Irtysh river flood-lands we didn't fine nests of Sakers and Emperial Eagles but a lot of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans) were registered breeding there. In spite of forests of the Pavlodar and Semipalatinsk districts were established as protected areas, now they are exploited actively by forest industry. Following the resolutions of the Forest and Hunting Management Committee forest services regularly carry out sanitary logging of trees more than 100 years old. As a result perennial nests of large raptors located on such trees are regularly destroyed and a number of old trees suitable for nesting are decreasing. There are also premeditated arsons of fragments of old aged forest. Under such conditions for protection of large raptors the Forest and Hunting Management Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan should realize in cooperation with ornithologists the scientific program on mapping and following monitoring inhabit places of species that were included in the Red Data Book of Kazakhstan and International list of global endangered species. And forest services are important to control the population conditions of that birds themselves under the managing of specialists of the Institute of Zoology. The authors are grateful to the management of ERWDA and the project-leader Nick Fox for scientific, financing and technical support. Authors thank Igor Karyakin and Timofey Barabashin for methodical help and information about nest location of the Saker Falcon and other raptors that they found in the forest-steppe zone in Kazakhstan.
