Nesting of the Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca Pall.) in the Southeast of Western Siberia

The natural quantity of the pied flycatcher in deciduous, mixed, and coniferous forests and reproductive parameters in deciduous and mixed stands of subtaiga forests in the southeast of Western Siberia has been studied comparatively based on materials collected in the period from 1980 to 2017. The natural quantity of the species at the nesting period is greater in mixed and deciduous forests when compared to coniferous forests. Nesting density, clutch size, volume of eggs, success, and productivity of reproduction in nest boxes are higher in deciduous forests. The data on the natural quantity and breeding of pied flycatchers in the study area are compared with the similar indicators in the European part of the range.
