Abstract

In the present study, the feeding ecology of Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) was investigated. The study was carried out in wetlands in the basin between 16th February 2006 and 4th October 2007. It was observed that The Night heron prefer the muddy and marshy places where freshwater joins to the lake for feeding. The morphometric measurement of chicks was done to determine the development related to the feeding. The measurement consisted of weight, tarsus, bill length, wing length, wing length, height and middle toe length. The Night heron feeds with animal foods. The vomiting samples of sixty (60) individuals and materials in nest were taken and seven (7) animal species belonging to five (5) classes were determined as feeding material of the Night heron (Chalcalburnus tarichi that a endemic fish species live in Van Lake, Rana sp., Bufo sp., Mus musculus, Microtus sp., Helix sp., Neuroptera's larvae). There is no plantal feeding material in feed range.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Gece balıkçılı (Nycticorax nycticorax)'nın Van Gölü Havzasındaki beslenme ekolojisi araştırıldı. Araştırma; havzadaki sulak alanlarda 16 Şubat 2006-04 Ekim 2007 yılları arasında gerçekleştirildi. Gece balıkçılı beslenmek için tatlı suyun göle karıştığı sazlıkları ve bataklık alanları kullanmaktadır. Yavruların beslenmeye bağlı olarak gelişimlerini belirlemek amacı ile günlük morfometrik ölçümleri alındı. Bu ölçümler; ağırlık, tarsus, gaga, kanat, boy ve orta parmak ölçümleridir. Gece balıkçılı havzada hayvansal besinlerle beslenmektedir. Yuva içinden ve altmış farklı bireyden alınan kusmuk örneklerinden 5 sınıfa özgü 7 hayvan türü (Chalcalburnus tarichi-Van Gölü'nde yaşayan endemik balık türü, Rana sp., Bufo sp., Mus musculus, Microtus sp., Helix sp., Neuropter larvası) tespit edildi. Türün besin yelpazesinde bitkisel besinlere rastlanmamıştır.
