The bird population of agro-complexes in the Khabarovsk city

The article presents the information on the fauna and bird population structure of the agrocomplexes on the example of the cultivated land, garden plots of the Khabarovsk city in the spring-and-summer seasons of 1995 and 2010. We studied the territories of the private sector in the vicinity of the "Far East Energomash" factory, dacha villages in the Chernaya river valley and in the vicinity of a small airport, agrobiological station of Pedagogical Institute of Pacific State University (former Far Eastern State University of Humanities). In the course of the study the species composition, population, stay of species, nesting sites, biotopic distribution of birds were studied. The table data discovered the features of the bird population structure of agrocomplexes in the Khabarovsk city. Avifauna is represented by 96 species, more than half (54.5%) of which are nesting. Population of breeding birds is dominated by species (40.3%), use for nesting a human buildings. Consequently, urban agro-complexes provide for birds with a variety of habitats for nesting, protective conditions and food resources, which contributes to the formation of heterogeneous avifauna consisting of birds of different ecological groups.
