Co-vocalisation of Eagle Owl and other owls in the natural and climatic conditions of the Middle Volga region

Abstract

The article considers the co-vocalisation of Eagle Owl and other species of owls. The studies were carried out using digital voice recorders in the habitats of the eagle owl. The natural and climatic conditions of the area in which co-vocalisation was noted were analyzed. Rare cases of co-vocalisation of Eagle Owl and its prey, primarily the Ural Owl and the Long-eared Owl, have been identified. Co-vocalisation was revealed only in winter and spring. This is due to the breeding season of birds. The presented study reflects the environmental sustainability of a particular area.
