Abstract

The species composition and ecology of birds in the forest-tundra natural zone are analyzed. There is no own avifauna of the forest-tundra, with the existence of fauna of taiga and tundra natural zones. At present, it is being formed, the species diversity of nesting birds is increasing, species have appeared, whose density maxima are located in the forest tundra. But there is practically no effect of “overlaying faunas” both on the whole space of Western Siberia and on the local territory of woodlands. Ecological adaptations of birds to the conditions of life in the forest-tundra have not been identified with such adaptations to the taiga and tundra.
