Abstract

In the autumn of 2019 in Ussuriysk, Primorsky Krai, a mass death of migratory birds from window collisions was recorded. This problem has been given undeservedly little attention in our country, while its scale is undoubtedly large and yet underestimated in the spheres of construction and environmental activities. The authors provide a preliminary estimate of bird mortality in Ussuriysk in September-October 2019. During the observations we noted 188 cases of window collision for 12 species of birds, 120 collisions resulting in the bird’s death. Approximately 80% of the affected birds were Eurasian Nuthatches (Sitta europaea).
