Abstract
Results of bird route surveys over the territory of the Central Altay during summer seasons of the years 1968–2001 were analyzed. Hierarchic classifications of species by the similarities of residence and distribution were compiled on the basis of multivariate factor analysis. The basic environmental factors determining non-uniformity of bird distribution were revealed. It was demonstrated that the classifications of bird species in the central Altay province and in the Altay physiogeographic mountainous region in general are close to each other in their structures. The provincial specificity of distribution of bird enhances with an increase in the altitude of the territory.
