The course of the lesson.

Educator: guys, look out the window, what time of year?

Children: (winter)

Educator: guys, do you know to visit us birds arrived who live with us in winter... Do you want to take off to meet?

Children: (children answer)

Educator: (puts on the flanegraph images birds, hangs up the feeder). Children, look who's to us arrived?

Children: birds.

Educator: how birds arrived?

Children: lot.

Educator: (takes one bird shows the children and names her) This is a crow. She is big, black and shouts:"Kar-kar" Who is this?

Children: Crow.

Educator: which crow?

Children: large and black.

Educator: how does the crow cry?

Children: "Kar-kar".

Educator: look children, at this beautiful bird, it's a bullfinch. He has a red chest. What is the name of this bird?

Children: bullfinch.

Educator: what kind of breast does a bullfinch have?

Children: red.

Educator: guys, here's another beautiful the bird flew to us, this is a titmouse. Look at her yellow breast. Children, who is this to us arrived?

Children: titmouse.

Educator: what kind of breast does a titmouse have?

Children: yellow.

Educator: and this little bird you often met, who is it?

Children:(together with the teacher) Sparrow.

Educator: how does a sparrow chirp?

Children: "Chik-chirik".

Educator: Guys, do you know that in winter it is difficult for birds to find food. No grass, bugs, worms. This is the feeder. It was made by children. The feeder is hung on a tree and millet is poured into it. (takes millet and pours it into the feeder)... What's this? (points to the feeder).

Children: feeder.

Educator: who will eat in the trough?

Children: birds.

Educator: what kind of birds do we have in winter will eat in the trough? (children in a place with a teacher - a sparrow, crow, bullfinch, tit)... how many birds flew?

Children: lot.

Educator: how many feeders?

Children: one.

Educator: (short story about birds in winter) ... Winter came. White, fluffy snow fell, covering the entire earth with a blanket. It is difficult for birds to find food in winter., so the children made a feeder, hung it on a tree and poured grains into the feeder. From all sides have arrived at the feeder different, beautiful birds nibble grains... There was a big black crow, and a small gray sparrow, and a yellow-breasted titmouse, and a red-breasted bullfinch. "Kar-kar" "Chik-chirik"- it birds say to children"Thank you" for feed.

Physical education.

Oh, birds flew, small birds.

Everyone flew, everyone flew, flapped their wings.

They sat down on the path, ate the grains.

Bite, bite, bite, bite, as I love the grains.

We will clean the feathers to make them cleaner.

Like this, like this, to be cleaner.

We jump on the branches to become stronger children.

Jump-jump, jump-jump, jump along the branches.

The game. The teacher distributes pictures with images to children birds(crow, tit, sparrow, bullfinch).

Educator: Bullfinch sat on a branch,

Rain splashed - it got wet.

Blow a little breeze

Dry the bullfinch for us.

Guys, show me the picture where the bullfinch is drawn? (children show)

Educator: Chicky, chicky, chicky,

Two titmouses flew

They are small with them.

Where is the titmouse? (children show)... Now show who screams like that "Chick - chirik" (children show)... Who is this big and black? (children show)... Where is the titmouse? (children show).

Then he fixes it in an individual survey.

Reflection. Children can take toys birds and feed them in the feeder by pouring millet into it.

In winter, it is cold and hungry for our feathered friends - wintering birds. It is about them that we will talk in our Internet lesson on the world around us.

Let's see what kind of birds there are.

• Migration- birds that fly away to places rich in food with the onset of cold days,
• Wintering(sedentary) - those of our feathered friends who stay with us for the winter.

What birds winter in our forests?

Crossbill

The bird got its name from its beak, which resembles ticks. Crossbills feed on seeds of spruce and pine all winter. In these plants, the seeds ripen for winter. This means that the most food for the crossbills is at this time of the year. Therefore, these birds hatch their chicks in winter. There is snow and frost all around, and babies are in the nest. But they are not afraid of the cold, because they are always full.

Bullfinches

For the ability to appear with the first snow - and they called him a bullfinch. Most often, in photos or paintings, these birdies are depicted sitting on rowan branches. Its berries are their favorite food. Moreover, they do not eat the pulp, but only peck out the seeds. Because of this, gutted red crumbs of berries are always scattered under the tree in the snow. In winter, bullfinches eat the seeds of alder, maple, ash, hornbeam, elderberries. In the summer, in the fields, they feast on the seeds of quinoa, burdock, horse sorrel and other herbs.

Woodpecker

Who among us has not heard how the restless drummer of our forests - a woodpecker - knocks, hollows on a tree. But a woodpecker can be recognized not only by a knock, but also by a characteristic cry, similar to "ki-ki-ki". Everyone calls him a forest doctor because he heals trees - he pulls out harmful insects and their larvae from the trunk and from under the bark. With its cone-shaped sharp beak, the woodpecker hollows the bark of the tree every hour. To a depth of 10 cm, he gouges a funnel and takes out an insect with a sticky tongue. The tongue is long, up to 4 cm.

Waxwing

You will see this euptica only in winter - it comes to us to winter from the north. You recognize her by her beautiful plumage, large tuft and a sharp loud voice. The waxwing got its name from the sounds that it makes when singing: swi-ri-ri. In winter, their main food is rowan berries, viburnum, rose hips, lingonberries, and indeed any berry bushes. They eat waxwings a lot, stuff their stomachs tightly. But most of these berries are indigestible, so in winter the place where the crested beauties feasted is easy to recognize. Under a bare tree, the snow is all strewn with bright spots of half-digested berries with seeds and peeled peels.

Sparrow

The sparrow is one of the most famous birds that live in the neighborhood of a human dwelling. Here he finds good conditions for nesting and a lot of food, nests in separate pairs, sometimes in colonies. Sparrow nests can be found in the crevices of buildings, in burrows in clay ravines, in tree hollows. The bird can also occupy the birdhouse and swallow burrow. Sparrows feed on seeds. They adore hemp, sunflower, wheat grains, but bread crumbs will also peck. Watch how they skillfully fight pigeons in the yard for their piece of bread.

Pigeon

Perhaps the most famous bird for the townspeople is the dove. These birds are so accustomed to life in the city that they are not at all afraid of people, often taking food directly from the palm of a person. In addition to seeds and bread, pigeons eat different grains, seeds, plants, berries. Pigeons also drink a lot of water to soften solid food faster. These birds find places where they can hide from the cold, but at the same time fly out every day in search of food. Most often, the attics of residential buildings serve as such a refuge for them. In winter, it is very difficult for the birds to find themselves to eat, and without food it is difficult for them to cope with the frost, so we must not forget about them and periodically feed the birds in the cold season so that they do not die.

Tit

The titmouse is a very mobile and fidgety bird: it does not sit still.Its beak is sharp and strong, and its legs are very tenacious, which allows the bird to cling to a branch and hang upside down.Sings loudly: "Xin-hsin, ping-ping", knows how to whistle and crack. For her singing, she received the name "titmouse".Tits arrange their nests in hollows, mouse holes, various cracks and voids. Tits live everywhere: in forests, mountains, villages, parks and gardens. In winter, tits fly closer to humans. These birds eat everything: grains, cereals, bread crumbs, pieces of meat, bacon and even cottage cheese.

Magpie

Magpie lives in the forest. The nest is twisted high on a tree of branches. A magpie flies through the forest - chirps, and flies up to the nest - becomes silent, does not want to show it to anyone.The magpie finds different food for itself: it eats beetles, larvae, caterpillars, loves bird eggs very much, steals them from the nests of other birds. For this, they called her the thief magpie. It catches forty mice, frogs, and can drag off a chicken.The magpie finds food at any time of the year, winter is not terrible for her. In winter, beetles and larvae do not appear, they hide from the cold under the bark of trees, there are no eggs in bird nests in winter. So a magpie flies from the forest closer to people.

Crow

. The crow is an omnivorous bird.Any kind of food waste is a common and favorite food of crows, therefore a large concentration of these birds is often observed in city dumps. The crow feeds on insect larvae teeming in the manure. In the absence of animal food, the crow eats plants and their seeds, fruits and vegetables. A modern city crow can print out a carton of milk, break a walnut, soak a biscuit in a puddle, open a tin can. Vsevere frosts, you can observe their huge flocks that fly from place to place.The lifespan of a crow in nature is 15-20 years.

Why you need to feed the birds in winter

Feed the birds in winter.
Let from all ends
They will flock to you like home,
Flocks on the porch.
Their feed is not rich.
A handful of grain is needed
One handful -
And not scary
It will be winter.
How many of them die - do not count,
It's hard to see.
But in our heart there is
And it's warm for the birds.
Is it possible to forget:
Could fly away
And they stayed for the winter
Along with people.
Train the birds in the cold
To your window
So that without songs you don't have to
We welcome spring.

Birdwatching in the winter dining room

You can not only feed the birds, but also watch them. And write down all your observations, i.e. try yourself as an ORNITOLOGIST.

Questions to help you with bird watching.

1. You can write by day which birds fly to the feeder.
2. How do they behave, do they quarrel with each other, do they drive other birds away from the feeder.
3. What is preferred from the feed.
4. Whether they fly in flocks or singly.
5. What time do birds arrive in the winter dining room?
6. Whether they eat food directly in the trough or grab a grain and fly away to another branch.

Wonderful pictures with migratory and wintering birds. Which birds stay in their homeland for the winter, and which ones fly away?

Walking in a park or forest, we listen to birds singing and often just don’t think about which bird is so gloriously displaying trills. There are birds that live in our area all year round, but there are also those that fly to the "warm lands" in the fall.

The fact is that in winter it is very difficult for birds to find food for themselves, because there are few insects, berries and grains, and when it snows, it is almost impossible to find them at all. And different species of birds solve this problem in different ways: migratory birds fly hundreds and even thousands of kilometers to warmer countries, and sedentary ones adapt to our harsh winters.

Sedentary, wintering birds: list, photo with names

To help the birds that stayed overwintering to find food, they hang feeders. And it is quite possible that they will be of interest to such visitors:

• Sparrow... Noisy sparrows that fly in flocks may well become the first visitors to the feeder.

• Tit. Tits are in many ways not inferior to sparrows, they quickly rush to feed in the feeders. But compared to sparrows, tits are endowed with a more meek disposition. Interestingly, in summer, the titmouse eats almost as much food as it weighs itself. Mixed flocks of both sparrows and titmice can often be observed in the feeders.

• Gaichka... A close relative of the tit. However, the breasts of the chickweed are not yellow, but light brown. Also, the titmouse differs from other tits in that it makes a hollow in a tree in order to build a nest in it.

Gaichka is a special type of tit

• Crow. The raven is often confused with rooks. It is known that crows are very rare in the western part of Russia. Therefore, if you live in the European part of Russia and see a black bird emitting a piercing caw, then most likely in front of you is a rook.

• Pigeon. The distribution and lifestyle of pigeons was largely influenced by people who simply brought them with them to different parts of the Earth. Now pigeons are found on all continents with the exception of Antarctica. Pigeons easily change rocks, which are their natural habitat, for man-made structures.

The nodding gait of pigeons is due to the fact that it is easier for them to see the object of interest to them.

• Woodpecker. In the warm season, woodpeckers feed mainly on insects, which they get from under the bark of trees, and in the winter cold, they can also eat plant foods: seeds and nuts.

• Magpie. The magpie is considered a bird with high intelligence, it is able to express a lot of emotions, including sadness, and knows how to recognize its reflection in the mirror. It is interesting that not only its brethren, but also other birds, as well as wild animals, in particular bears and wolves, react to the alarming cry of a magpie.

Magpie - wintering bird

• Owl... Owls are different, large and small, in total there are more than 200 species. These birds are endowed with keen eyesight and excellent hearing, which allows them to be nocturnal. It is interesting that the tassels on the owl's head are not ears, the real ears of owls are hidden in the feathers, and one of them is directed upward, and the other downward, in order to better hear what is happening above the head and on the ground.

Owl is a nocturnal bird

• This bird is also considered an owl and is a close relative of other owls.

• A rare owl that lives mainly in the highlands in the northern latitudes. The name of the bird, according to various versions, means "inedible" or "insatiable".

• Jackdaw. Outwardly, jackdaws look like rooks and crows, moreover, there are mixed flocks in which you can see all three species of birds. However, the jackdaw is smaller than a crow. And if you are lucky enough to observe the jackdaw up close, then you can easily recognize it by the gray color of part of the feathers.

• Nuthatch. This small bird very dexterously climbs the trunks of trees. In summer, nuthatches hide seeds and nuts in the bark, and in winter they feed on these supplies.

• Crossbill. Like the nuthatch, this bird climbs trees well and can hang upside down on branches. The favorite food of the crossbill is seeds from spruce and pine cones. This bird is remarkable in that it can hatch chicks even in winter, but only if there is enough food.

• Bullfinch. Only males have bright red plumage on the chest, females look much more modest. Bullfinches are more often seen in winter, as due to lack of food, they are drawn to people. In summer, bullfinches prefer wooded areas and behave inconspicuously, so it is not easy to see them.

• Waxwing... A bird with beautiful plumage and a singing voice. In summer, it feeds mainly on insects and likes to settle in coniferous forests. In winter, the waxwing moves to the more southern regions of the country, it is often found in cities. In the cold season, mountain ash and other fruits become the main food for poultry.

• Jay. A large bird, which, however, can fly to feast on a feeder hung by people. In summer, it is rarely seen in the city, but closer to winter, the bird begins to reach for human habitation.

• Kinglet. One of the smallest birds, the weight of an adult male is only 5-7 grams. Kings are relatives of sparrows.

Kinglet - an inhabitant of the forests

• ... A large bird that is a favorite trophy for many hunters. Pheasants can fly, but more often they move on foot.

• Grouse... It is also an object of hunting, despite the fact that this bird is quite small. The weight of an adult hazel grouse rarely reaches 500 g. It is interesting that the largest population of these birds lives in Russia.

Grouse - a bird that has a relationship with the black grouse

• Another bird that is related to the hunting industry. Black grouse are found at the edge of the forest and in the forest-steppe.

• Falcon... It is considered one of the smartest birds on the planet and one of the best hunters. The falcon is able to work in tandem with a human, but it is very difficult to tame it.

• ... Like a falcon, it is a bird of prey. The vision of a hawk is 8 times sharper than a human. And rushing after prey, the hawk can reach speeds of up to 240 km / h.

• Rooks differ from crows with a gray-yellow beak. In the Kuban and Ukraine, you can see how in the fall rooks gather in huge flocks, so large that the sky looks black from the birds soaring in it - these are rooks that fly to the south. However, rooks refer to migratory birds only conditionally, some of them remain to winter in central Russia, some hibernate in Ukraine, and only some birds fly to the warm shores of Turkey for the winter.

• they love to fly to the newly dug ground, sometimes they fly right behind the plowing tractor in order to have time to get as many worms and larvae as possible from the dug ground.

• This inconspicuous bird with a singing voice loves warmth, and therefore flies south in the fall. And for wintering, our native nightingales have chosen hot Africa. These birds fly to winter in the eastern part of the continent - Kenya and Ethiopia. However, local residents cannot enjoy their singing, because nightingales sing only during the mating season, which they have in their homeland.

• Martin. Swallows love rocky terrain, and they often settle on the steep walls of quarries that people have dug. However, our winters are too harsh for swallows, and therefore in the fall they fly away to the southern, far from us, part of Africa or to Tropical Asia.

• Chizh... Like the rook, it is a migratory bird that arrives early and hibernates nearby: in the Caucasus, Kazakhstan and southern Europe. Outwardly, the siskins are inconspicuous, their gray-green feathers are absolutely not striking against the background of the branches. The bird's temper matches the appearance: quiet and meek.

• Goldfinch. In Europe, it is a wintering bird, however, in Russia, goldfinches can only be seen in summer. By winter, goldfinches gather in flocks and go to lands with warmer climates. Goldfinches are close relatives of siskins.

Goldfinch is one of the most colorful birds

• A slender bird that quickly runs on the ground and shakes its tail with every step. Wagtails spend the winter in eastern Africa, southern Asia, and sometimes in southern Europe.

• Quail. The only bird from the order of chickens, which is migratory. The weight of an adult quail is not so great and is 80-150 g. In summer, quails can be found in fields sown with wheat and rye. Quails hibernate far beyond the borders of our homeland: in the southern part of Africa and in southern Asia, on the Indian subcontinent.

• Thrush... The songbird with its sweet trills creates a worthy competitor to the nightingale. And its appearance, like that of a nightingale, is inconspicuous. In winter, blackbirds become Europeans: Italy, France and Spain are their second homeland.

• Lark... Larks return from warm countries very early, sometimes already in March you can hear their sonorous song, which becomes a harbinger of spring warmth. Larks overwinter in Southern Europe.

• Gull... With the onset of cold weather, gulls living on the coasts of the northern seas migrate to the Black and Caspian Seas. But over the years, seagulls are more and more drawn to people, and more and more often remain to winter in cities.

• ... Swifts winter in Africa, and they fly to its equatorial part or even go to the southern part of the mainland.

• Starlings are in great need of nesting houses, since most often they breed their offspring in them. And our starlings go to winter in Southern Europe and East Africa.

This freaky black cloud is a flock of starlings returning home

• Finch... Finches from the western part of the country winter mainly in Central Europe and the Mediterranean, while finches that live near the Urals in summer go to winter in southern Kazakhstan and southern regions of Asia.

Chaffinch - a noisy inhabitant of the forest

• Heron... It is rather difficult to determine where the herons winter, some of them travel great distances to South Africa, some winter in the Crimea or in the Kuban, and in the Stavropol Territory, herons sometimes even stay for the winter.

• Crane... These birds are monogamous, and once having chosen a partner, they remain faithful to him all their lives. Cranes settle in swampy areas. And their wintering places are as diverse as those of herons: Southern Europe, Africa and even China - in all these parts of the world you can find cranes that have flown in from Russia to winter.

• Stork... In Russia, there are black and white storks. White storks build huge nests, which are up to one and a half meters wide, and make very long flights to the south. Sometimes they overcome half of the planet and fly to South Africa - a country that is located in the very south of Africa.

• Swan... The swan is a bird of devotion and romance. Swans are waterfowl, so for wintering they choose places near the water, often the Caspian or Mediterranean Sea.

• Duck... In winter, wild ducks, as a rule, do not fly far away and remain in the vastness of the post-Soviet states. It is noteworthy that their domestic relatives in the fall also begin to worry and sometimes try to fly away, sometimes they even fly over fences and fly insignificant distances.

• ... Cuckoos settle in forests, forest-steppe, and steppe. The overwhelming majority of cuckoos fly away to winter in tropical and South Africa, less often cuckoos winter in South Asia: in India and China.

• ... A small bird with a singing voice and bright plumage, which flies off to winter in the tropics.

• ... They wake up at dawn and are among the first to start the morning song. This little songbird used to be called the robin. In winter, European robins fly to Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and they are among the first to return home.

How migratory birds differ from wintering ones: presentation for preschoolers

Slide 2

Slide 3: presentation of migratory birds

Why do migratory birds fly to warmer regions, where they winter, why do they come back?

Winter is an ordeal for birds. And only those who, in harsh conditions, can get food for themselves, remain to winter.

What can be the ways for birds to survive in cold weather?

• Some birds store food in the summer for the winter. They hide plant seeds, nuts, acorns, caterpillars and larvae in the grass and cracks in the bark of trees. These birds include the nuthatch.
• Some birds are not afraid of people and live near residential buildings. In winter, they find food in troughs and garbage heaps.
• Some birds are predators and feed on rodents. There are birds of prey that can feed on hares, hunt fish, small birds and bats.

If a bird can find food for itself in winter, it means that it does not need to go on an exhausting and difficult flight to warmer regions in the fall.

It would seem that everything is simple, and the only reason for the seasonal migration of birds is the lack of food. But in reality, there are more questions than answers. For example, imagine that a mallard, which is a migratory bird, is provided with an artificially heated pond and ample food. Will she stay for the winter? Of course not. She will be called on a long journey, a strong feeling that is difficult to explain, called a natural instinct.

It turns out that birds fly away to warm lands, as if out of habit, because their ancestors did this for hundreds and thousands of years.

Another question to be answered is: why do birds return from warm countries every spring? Scientists-ornithologists have concluded that the beginning of the return flight is associated with the activation of sex hormones and the beginning of the breeding period. But why should birds fly thousands of kilometers and hatch chicks exactly where they themselves were born? Poets and romantic natures say that birds, like people, are simply drawn to their homeland.

How do migratory birds know where to fly? The question, to which to this day, there is no intelligible answer. It has been experimentally proven that birds can navigate in completely unfamiliar terrain and in conditions of limited visibility, when neither the sun nor the stars are visible. They have an organ that allows you to orient yourself according to the earth's magnetic field.

But the mystery is how young individuals, who have never flown to warmer regions before, find their wintering place themselves, and how do they know the route to fly? It turns out that in birds, at the genetic level, information is recorded about the point on the map where you need to fly and, moreover, a route to it is drawn.

Do migratory birds nest in the south?

Birds wintering in warm regions do not lay eggs or hatch chicks, which means they do not need a nest. The nest is needed only for chicks, which migratory birds will incubate in their homeland.

What birds are the first and last to arrive in the spring?

The first to arrive in the spring rooks... These birds return to their homeland in early spring, when the first thawed patches appear in the snow. With their strong beak, rooks dig out larvae on such thawed patches, which form the basis of their diet.

The last to arrive are birds that feed on flying insects. These are swallows, swifts, orioles. The diet of these birds consists of:

• Komarov
• Moshek
• Blind man
• Zhukov
• Cicad
• Butterflies

Since the appearance of a large number of adult flying insects from the larvae requires warm weather and about two weeks of time, the birds that feed on them fly home after the massive appearance of these insects.

Which birds are the first and last to fly away in the fall?

With the onset of autumn cold weather, insects complete their active life cycle and hibernate. Therefore, birds that feed on insects are the first to fly to the warm regions. Then birds fly away, feeding on plants. The last to fly away are waterfowl. For them, even in autumn, there is enough food in the water. And they fly away before the water in the reservoirs begins to freeze.

VIDEO: Birds fly south

What migratory flock of birds promises snow?

According to folklore, if a flock of wild geese- you should expect the first snow to fall. This omen may not coincide with real weather events. So in the north of Russia geese fly away to warm regions in mid-September, and snow can fall much earlier. Let's say the first snow in Norilsk this year fell on 25 August. In the south, geese fly to warm regions at the end of October, and sometimes even at the beginning of November. The first snow in these areas may occur at this time. But it all depends on the weather conditions in the fall. Indian summer here can drag on for the whole of October.

VIDEO: Geese gather in flocks for flights to the south

Which bird from the order of chickens is migratory?

A migratory bird from the order of chickens is quail... The quail's habitat extends beyond Russia to the west and south. In the east, these birds live up to the western coast of Lake Baikal. They are widespread in Europe, Western Asia and Africa.

They fly south for the winter. And they winter in Hindustan, North Africa and South-West Asia.

(Includes educator music)

Physical education.

Oh, birds flew, small birds. 2circles (Run on tiptoes in a circle

Everyone flew, everyone flew, flapped their wings. 2 circles of waving hands)

They sat down on the path, ate the grains. (We squat down and fingers

Bite, bite, bite, bite, as I love the grains. Grains peck 2 times)

Educator: Oh, guys, what is it weighing on a branch?

Children: Feeder

Educator: And what is the feeder for? For whom?

Children: For birds.

Educator: Correctly, it is difficult for birds to find food in winter, so people help the birds feed them and make feeders, the children of the older group made a feeder, hung it on a tree and poured grains into the feeder.

Educator: And I made this feeder, we will go for a walk, hang it on a tree and fill it with food. And you will also make feeders at home with your parents, since there are a lot of birds and they all want to eat.

Different beautiful birds fly to the feeder from all sides to peck at the grains.

Let's remember what kind of birds will eat in our feeder in winter?

There was a big black crow, and a small gray sparrow, and a yellow-breasted titmouse, and a red-breasted bullfinch.

Children, we helped the birds today, they got warm, we made a feeder for them, listen to how good they are and they sang their funny songs.

Walking through the parks or forest zone of the Moscow region and Moscow, you can hear different bird trills. The singing of the birds of the Moscow Region is so many-sided that sometimes it is even difficult to understand which of the birds gives beautiful tunes to the forest. Many birds live in the capital and the Moscow region, without leaving their habitat. But there are also migratory birds that fly to warm regions during the frost period.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for birds to find food during the winter season. Insects disappear, the number of grains and berries decreases, and with the appearance of snow cover it becomes even more difficult to find anything. The problem with food for different birds is solved in different ways: some, overcoming thousands of kilometers, fly south to warm countries (these are migratory birds), where they do not experience problems with finding food and shelter, other birds that are classified as sedentary adapt to winter conditions. The material below will tell you which birds are migratory and which are wintering.

Migratory and sedentary birds

According to the capital's ornithologists, the main reason for the migration of birds from the capital and the Moscow region to the southern regions is not so much frost as in the lack of food.

So, from the beginning of October, the Moscow region is abandoned by orioles, warblers, swallows, lentils, wagtails, flycatchers, nightingales, warblers, swifts, warblers, white storks, as well as golden bee-eaters, twirling necks.
At the end of October and in November, larks, robins, finches, starlings, grosbeaks, blackbirds and common buntings leave the Moscow region and the capital. Most of these birds choose the Mediterranean or Southern Europe for wintering. Swallows with white storks wait out the winter in South Africa, while nightingales choose the tropical part of Africa.
Waterfowl such as gray herons, gulls, grebes and mallards in the Moscow region can stay until frost. They usually fly away when the water bodies are covered with an ice crust.
Sedentary birds are birds that do not leave their habitat throughout their lives. This type of bird chooses for itself such conditions for life, in which it is possible to survive and feed in both summer and winter. Sedentary birds include jackdaws, bullfinches, jays, hazel grouses. This category also includes magpies, woodpeckers, crows, and tits.
There are some species of birds that arrive in the Moscow region in winter from the colder regions of Russia. Some birds, on the contrary, move to the European zone of Russia, where winters are slightly warmer. Such birds are called nomad birds. They do not belong to the migratory category of birds.

What birds fly to the feeder in winter?

So that the birds left for the winter do not die of hunger, people often make feeders for them and hang them in the birds' habitats. The list of visitors to feeders includes:

1. Sparrows... These birds, which usually fly in flocks, are usually the first to arrive at the feeder.
2. Titmouse... The variety of these birds is very similar to sparrows, which also quickly rush to feed. But unlike sparrows, tits are more fearful in nature. For a titmouse, a feeder is one of the chances to survive until spring. Especially in January and February, when everything has already been found and eaten by other birds. In the suburbs and in the capital, there are many different species of tits. These are the Muscovy Tit, the Blue Tit, the Powdered Tit, the Grenadier. Some bird watchers argue that of all the titmice, the titmouse (also called the brown-headed tit) tolerates winter the easiest, as it builds its nest in a hollow and, in order not to freeze in the frost, fluffs up its plumage, turning into a funny "puff".
3. Crows and rooks... In the Moscow region, this species of birds is often found. In winter, they flock to the city, where they can find a lot of food.
4. Pigeons... The lifestyle of this bird species was strongly influenced by man, who transported it to different regions of the Earth. Today pigeons can be found throughout Russia. Birds prefer to settle as close to a person as possible, since it is near a human dwelling in winter that this bird is guaranteed to find food.
5. Woodpecker... In the summertime, woodpeckers feed on midges and insects that are found in the bark of trees. During the cold winter months, a variety of seeds and nuts are added to their diet, which are easy to find in the feeders.
6. Magpies... The bird also flies with pleasure to the feeder to receive grains or nuts.
7. Jackdaws and magpies... In winter, flocks of crows often fly to the feeders, among which jackdaws can also be found. They are easily recognized by their gray feathers, which are clearly visible against the background of black plumage.

In winter, among visitors to the feeder in the forest zone, nuthatch, crossbill, bullfinches, waxwings, jays, kinglets, hazel grouses can also be found. As you can see, the feeder implies a huge benefit for birds, which in winter really expect food from humans. Let's not forget that only we can help the birds survive the frosts and wait for the long-awaited spring.
