Highlights
A modern airfield occupies a large territory
Materials on the bird population were collected during censuses at the airport from the second half of May 2013 to the second half of August 2014, and from September 2017 to the second half of August 2018
Primary data have been included into the database of the Laboratory of Zoological Monitoring, Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia)
Summary
A modern airfield occupies a large territory. The conditions are often favorable for the bird nesting; for example, they are the inaccessibility for most people, the formation of a mosaic landscape with forest, shrubbery and open areas, with temporary and permanent ponds, and various buildings. Seeds of herbaceous plants in the open areas provide food for granivorous birds. The presence of rodents attracts predators, including corvids, which can form large flocks here.
