Abstract
Long-term censuses of common crane in the West Siberian plain make it possible to assert that their average numbers exceed considerably the earlier found values. The majority of common cranes are in the steppe zone (45 % of the total numbers), less in taiga subzones (3 to 9 %). In the forest-tundra and tundra zones, no common cranes have been found.
