BREEDING OF OWLS (STRIGIFORMES) IN THE VICINITY OF ODESA
Journal Title: Вісник Одеського національного університету. Біологія - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, data obtained in 2011 in the study of biology of breeding owl-like birds are presented. Biotopic distribution of 3 types of night predators in urban areas of the north-eastern outskirts of Odesa (Ukraine) was determined. As a result of the research the authors identified time parameters of reproductive cycle of Long-eared Owl (Asio otus), Scops Owl (Otus scops) and Little Owl (Athene noctua). In addition, character of nest placement and nesting success of the studied species were determined. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of adaptation of species during reproduction period under conditions of extremely strong anthropogenic impact. Topical connections of nesting owl-like birds with Ravens birds, whose old nests are used by owls during the breeding season, were clarified. The authors concluded that the main factors that limit the increase in the number of owls in the vicinity of Odesa are the lack of nesting sites and competition for nesting habitats with corvids and falcon birds. A number of measures to attract owls to nest in the recreational zone of Odesa were proposed.
