Özet

We had monitored spring season soaring bird migration at Belen Pass between March 6th and May 20th, 2015. During the study, a total of 50082 soaring migratory birds were counted and 29 species belonging to five families of five orders were recorded. White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) was the most abundant species with 46525 individuals. It was followed by Great White Pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) with 1142 individuals, Common Crane (Grus grus) (Linnaeus, 1758) with 723 individuals, Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina) with 619 individuals, and Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) with 274 individuals. Migration had gained pace between March 31st and April 2nd with the highest daily count on March 31st with 7160 individuals. Although altitude of migration was between 10 and 900 m, the soaring birds passed mostly between 400 and 500 m. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2020.
