Abstract
Results of the investigation of the number, time budget, and use of territory during the nesting period by little brown crane in Yakutia (at the western periphery of the habitat on the left bank of the Indigirka) for 1998-2007 are presented. The density of population of this species here is much lower than that in the north-east of Chukotka and in Alaska, which is depicted in the specific behavior of broods. During more than 10 years, the number of this crane species increased more than 20 times.
