Предварительные результаты успешности проекта по привлечению дневных хищных птиц для размножения на искусственные гнездовья в степных биотопах Южной Тувы, Россия

Abstract

In this article we describe the results of our project that is aimed to attract birds of prey to breed on artificial nesting platforms placed in the steppe part of Southern Tuva, Tuva Republic, Russia. In 2009 and 2011 we placed 49 artificial breeding platforms in Nature Reserve “Ubsunurskaya Kotlovina”. In 2013 we did the checking of 35 platforms and found that 11 (31.4 %) of them successfully occupied by Upland Buzzards ( Buteo hemilasius ), and other 4 (11.0 %) contained a signs that they were occupied in the previous breeding seasons.
