Annotation

Monitoring of the species composition and abundance of waterfowl and semi-aquatic birds wintering on the Moscow River in the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve (KMR) has been carried out regularly, since 1984 to the present. Tufted duck in wintering in the KMR was first noted on November 4, 1992. In the KMR, the Tufted duck does not wintering regularly and in small numbers. The first birds appear at the end of October, and the last leave the KMR by the second decade of April. The number of wintering Tufted duck varies between 2–22 birds over the years, during the spring migration (March – the second decade of April), clusters of 60–80 individuals were noted. Birds usually stay close to the shore, near the feeding places of ducks, often together with mallards. The Tufted ducks are feeding by diving from a position afloat. The maximum time spent under water is 36 seconds. In general, the period from the beginning the formation of the winter ornithocomplex before its disintegration, coinciding with the spring migration, is almost 6 months.
