Twelve species of diurnal raptors and seven species of owls, including species from the Red Data Books of Russia and Karelia, were registered during the 20-year period of observations in the Kostomuksha nature reserve. During this period most encounters happened with two species of buzzards – the Common and Rough-legged ones. Annual registration numbers have decreased since the beginning of regular observations due both to subjective factors (registration of raptors by observers) and actual population decline.
