The fauna and population of diurnal raptors (Falconiformes) in the Gorkovsky impoundment reservoir area was studied over a multiannual period in 6 permanent sample plots. Registrations include 19 species, of which 13 definitely breed in the area, another 6 are alleged to breed, 1 species is a passage migrant; 6 species are red-listed in the Russian Federation. The population of raptors around the reservoir differs notably from those in flat areas and valleys of small and medium-size rivers of the region.
