Field signs. The average bird (the weight of males - 1,0-1,4 kg, females - 0,7-1,0 kg). Male brilliantly-black with a white podhvostem and "mirror" wing. Tail liroobrazno bent . Eyebrows red. The female gray fox. Vzletayut noise. Flight fast, with wing-beat frequency, sometimes planned. Voice tokuyuschego male - sonorous, a far cry heard muttering, and a kind of a blank Creek "chuffshi" - chufykane. A hen - loud kokane: "co-co -by. "Tokovanie happens and autumn (Syroechkovsky, Rogacheva, 1980).  Distribution. Occupies the entire forest area in Central Siberia (with the exception of dark taiga Sayan). The most typical for the forest and lesolugovoy part. Where forests violated logging, garyami or farmland, and vast marshes woodless penetrates deep into the taiga (Rogacheva, 1988).
There were many in Achinskoy, Kanskoy, the Krasnoyarsk forest and forest plots Minusinsk depression. Now the rare black grouse here and only here and there - in a recess - remains normal birds. In the southern taiga (Angara, Kemchug) it will, where many open spaces, garey and cuttings. Here, there are still places where the currents of 20-30 roosters. In the solid middle and northern taiga rare and usually kept in the valleys of large rivers (particularly Yenisei) and the safari. In the forest blackcocks not. It is very rare birds seen near us Hantayskogo lakes and the river. Hantayke from the southern boundary of forest-tundra at the Yenisey (Rogacheva, 1988). In woodlands from Norilsk lakes have not found (Krechmar, 1966). Perhaps the black grouse to live in North Evenkia, at least until the polar circle (Rogacheva, 1988).  Reproduction. Razgar current in the middle taiga - in mid-May. In late June, Krasnoyarsk vyvodki. In the taiga in the winter is going to flocks and kochuet in birch and river floodplains. Steam does not form. Nest - hole in the earth under the protection of trees and wood. In laying 5 - 9 ohristyh with red-brown eggs krapom (Syroechkovsky, Rogacheva, 1980).
 Nutrition. In autumn and summer fodder dominated berries, various parts of herbaceous plants. The most important winter food - birch buds and Earrings (Syroechkovsky, Rogacheva, 1980).
Number. Kanskoy in forest density blackcocks remains one of the highest in the province (28-60 individuals per 10 km 2), the type of stocks over the past fifty years is clearly shifting in the taiga zone. According to land records in Eniseyskom area (2490 km) the density of species in 1999-2000. Was 3,8-6,4 specimens of 10 km 2. relatively close to figures obtained by aviauchetah, but they are generally lower (1.8 individuals per 10 km 2), as averaged for different types of biotopes. more representative aviauchety 1999 (4555 km), conducted in early April, allowing almost all birds found on the route. In accounting, conducted in January and February, it turned out, you have to enter a correction factors, as some birds located in holes , Did not take off from the noise of engine helicopter. The marked decline in the number of blackcocks in the forest zone  Prieniseyskoy Siberia occur in the second half of 50-ies of the twentieth century. This is due to the expansion of cultivated land (consolidation of fields, korchevka poignantly, pereleskov), chemical agriculture, and direct shooting of birds, which was massive. The latter was due to the advent of cross-technology and the widespread malokalibirnogo rifled weapons (during 1956-1968 biennium.). It was considered normal when for 4-5 hours before departure dobyvali 30-40 birds. The high number of blackcocks reaffirmed and virtually widespread large currents (up to 50 or more birds) in the forest and podtaezhnoy zones of the province. Back in the late 70-ies of the twentieth century. Achinskoy in the forest (Nazarovsky rn) density in some typical habitat types in September reached 40-50 animals for 10 km 2. According to the oral presentation ohotoveda Novoselovskogo area VM Zykov, swarms blackcocks to one hundred or more individuals were not uncommon. By cards ZMU, the analysis of questionnaires sent by hunters, the density in 1999, 2000 (feral) on the edge of area was: Kazachinsky - 3.5, Bolshemurtinsky - 4.6, Suhobuzimsky - 4.8, Emelyanovsky - 1.2, Nazarovsky - 12.1, Balahtinsky - and Novoselovsky 1,5 - 3,2 specimens of 10 km 2.  Совершенно очевидно, что необходимым условием сохранения ресурсного потенциала вида является регламентация охоты, основанная на сборе достоверной информации о его состоянии в природе (Савченко, 2000). It should be noted that the data are often obtained at a relatively small length of the route - 200-500 km to the district - and give only a general idea about the state of blackcocks. For example, when taking into account the car in November 2000 in Emelyanovskom, Suhobuzimskom areas on the Emelyanovo-Raskaty-Glyaden-Ustyug-Minderla black grouse is not marked. In the accounting work in August and November in the territory Bolshemurtinskogo district received 180 birds, representing less than 1 specimens at the 10 km route . It is no exaggeration to say that an important type of hunting today loses in the southern and central parts of the edge of their former value. It is clear that a prerequisite for conservation of resources is the type of regulation of hunting, based on the collection of reliable information on his the state of nature (Savchenko, 2000).
