Description
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.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 242 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
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.
