Description
Summary:On the basis of five-year monitoring data on summer bird population in the Nature Reserve “Kerzhensky” after the catastrophic fires of 2010, a spatial distribution of raptors was analyzed (mainly birds of prey – Falconiformes). Main types of habitats were surveyed using line transect counts. In total 17 species of raptors were observed. Abundance of each species is presented here. Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) and Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo) were the most common species of raptors in the Nature Reserve.
