Abstract:
SUMMARY. The observations for this stud y were made in the years 1944-1961. This is not the first ornithological elaboration of the area in question. The observations confined to only the town of Kraków and its parks were published by Ferens (1957), and so they are as a rule skipped here except for the completion of faunistic material. A large number of data from this area was published by Wodzicki (1850), Schauer (1878) and others in the nineteenth century. Their observations render it possible to trace the changes in the avian fauna during the last 120 years. The section providing a systematic survey of the species observed includes 147 of them in all. A bout 93 of these may be regarded as breeders. The names of the species that were found nesting within the area are marked with an asterisk *. The names of the species whose nests were not found but whose nesting was confirmed by observations are marked with an asterisk in brackets (*). W here a species was ascertained to be visiting the area or on passage, neither mark has been put by its name.
