Data on the locations and behavior of breeding birds obtained by mapping (registrations made during census visits) along a fixed route (permanent transect) in sibljaks and low-elevation broad-leaved forests of the Black Sea region (Russia, Krasnodar Territory)

The dataset describes the spatial distribution of registrations and behavior of 53 bird species censused by the territory mapping method during the breeding period along a fixed route (permanent transect) in sibljaks and low-elevation broad-leaved forests of the Black Sea region. The route length was 2575 m with a maximum elevation difference of about 400 m. Geographic coordinates of the furthest points of the route were 44°40′46.5″ N, 37°39′09.3″ E and 44°41′10.7″ N, 37°40′16″ E. In 2000 and 2001, 12 and 11 complete (each during two mornings) mapping visits were conducted from April 4 to June 13 and from April 7 to June 10, respectively. The mapping visits were made regularly at intervals of 4-6 days.
