Podicipedidae

Great Crested Grebe

Podiceps cristatus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Great Crested Grebe

In Central Siberia, the Great Crested Grebe occurs in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, mainly within the Minusinsk depression and in Khakasia. The northern limit of the species' distribution recorded by Sushkin (1914) lay on the latitude of Krasnoyarsk. Today, however, the species is rare, its numbers are declining and its range is decreasing in size. It breeds on large, well-warmed lakes in flat areas in Khakasia where it can even be common in places (Prokofyev 1987). It also inhabits ecologically suitable parts of artificial reservoirs.
