Species composition and ecological and faunistic characteristics of the ornitofauna of Horbachykha tract (Kyiv). - M.V. Prychepa, Yu.O. Kovalenko. - Avifauna of Ukraine. 11. 2025. - In 2020–2024, we conducted field studies of the avifauna of the Horbachykha tract (Kyiv). Species composition and structure were analyzed in four biotopes: forest, shrub meadows, reservoirs and anthropogenic areas. A total of 144 species are registered, 15 of which are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, 61 species are included in the list of Bonn Convention, and 28 – in Resolution 6 of the Bern Convention. The greatest diversity of species was recorded in forest biotopes (62 species). In the trophic structure, entomophagous species were the dominant group (31.3%). The results obtained emphasize the importance of this tract as a component of the Dnipro Migration Corridor and the preservation of habitat for forest birds. [Ukrainian].
