PARAMETERS AND DYNAMICS OF THE REPRODUCTIVE PERIOD OF HUNTING BIRD SPECIES NESTING IN THE CHECHEN REPUBLIC
Relevance - at present, the parameters of the breeding period of birds nesting on the territory of the Chechen Republic, including hunting species, are practically not studied. The aim - is to identify the species composition, biotopic distribution, relative abundance and parameters of the reproductive period of hunting birds, in order to preserve and rational nature management of hunting bioresources. Research methods - the material was collected within the framework of the state cadastre and state monitoring of wildlife objects. The abundance of species, registration of phenological phenomena and the timing of egg laying of hunting bird species were determined by the results of personal observations and literature data, standard methods of visual observations and nest surveys. Results of the work and discussion - based on the results of the analysis, the parameters and amplitude of the dynamics of the breeding periods of hunting bird species nesting in the Chechen Republic are presented. The complete coincidence of the parameters of the spring hunting of feathered game with the parameters of the breeding period of feathered game in the Chechen Republic is shown. It is recommended that these materials be used by the executive authorities of the Chechen Republic when making management decisions in the field of establishing norms and deadlines for the opening (closing) of spring hunting for feathered game, in accordance with the legislation and regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic.
