The dataset presents the results of the bird censuses carried out on February 8-15, 2001 in the south of Ukraine. In contrast to the traditional censuses of waterbirds in this region, they were carried out mainly in the zonal landscape, and their period were not determined by specific dates, but were connected with the period of winter weather in the region (simultaneous presence of negative temperatures and snow cover). The censuses were carried out in the regular nets of 10 x 10 km (see Methodology). 242 squares were obsereved. 994340 individuals of 105 species of birds were counted.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The analysis of the obtained data is presented in the article Andryushchenko Yu.A., Chernichko I.I., Kinda V.V., Popenko V.M., Arsievich N.G., Watzke H., Gavrilenko V.S., Gorlov P.I., Grinchenko A.B., Dumenko V.P., Kirichenko V.E., Koshelev A.I., Koshelev V.A., Lopushanskiy V.A., Oliynyk D.S., Podpryadov A.A., Prokopenko S.P., Stadnichenko I.S., Sirenko V.A., Tovpinets N.N., Fisher T., Chernichko R.N. 2006. Results of the first large census of wintering birds in zonal landscapes of South Ukraine. Branta: Transactions of the Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station. Issue 9. P. 123–149.Sampling
The area was divided into 10 x 10 km (100 km2) squares, which were observed by 8 groups of ornithologists. Each group observed from 4 to 8 squares per day, depending on the state of the weather (visibility, traficobility), the presence of settlements and water bodies. Some censuses were carried out inside the settlements. A total of 242 squares were investigated. Birds were counted using 8–12x binoculars and 30–60x telescopes. The censuses were carried out according to three methods: along the transect, census on the vantage points and absolutely census. The transect censuses were carried out by using off-road vehicles. Primarily common species were observed along the transects. The width of the counting strip along the transects was 7–8 km with good visibility, 2–4 km during rain and snowfall, and 500 m during fog. The Bustard was subject of absolutely cencuses. The coordinates of the centroid of the square were determined in the free software QGIS, version 3.4, and indicated as standard coordinates in the dataset table. In the coordinateUncertaintyInMeters field, the largest distance from the center of the square to its borders is indicated. The nomenclature follows the Catalogue of Life.Quality Control
The authors (experienced ornithologists with more than 20 years of experience of field studies) of the dataset are fully responsible for the quality of the published data.Method steps
- Conducting of a field survey within the previously chosen plot area according to the standard method.
- Counting of the birds with simultaneous identification of species.
- Creating maps of the records made.
- Georeferencing and creating of the lists of registered species and specimens.
- Organizing of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.
