Abstract

Avifauna is of great importance in anthropogenic, natural biocenoses. In order to regulate and protect them, it is necessary to investigate firstly the composition of the ornithofauna, secondly the specific distribution, and thirdly the population activity of the species composition. We studied the spatial and temporal structure of the avifauna in the vicinity of the village of Meryasovo in the Baymaksky district. We have identified 34 bird species belonging to 10 orders and 22 families in the vicinity of Meryasovo, Baimaksky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The conducted measures to preserve the bird habitats and territories with the main conditions for birds as breeding sites, stopping-off points during migration, wintering, moulting have contributed to the conservation of the bird fauna in the vicinity of Meryasovo village, Baymaksky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
