Tarasov V.V. DISTRIBUTION OF THE LITTLE OWL IN WESTERN SIBERIAThis report summarizes the latest records of the Little Owl Athene noctua (Scopoli, 1769) in Western Siberia. The current northern breeding boundary in the region is shown to be at 600-700 km further than indicated in the available account on this species. The study explores ways for the species range increase over the past 50 years. It is supposed that the change in the range boundaries went in longitudinal direction rather than in latitudinal one, and Western Siberia was settled by nominative subspecies of A. n. noctua from European Russia rather than deserted subspecies of A. n. bactriana from Central Kazakhstan. To clarify this question the author appeals to colleagues working in Western Siberia to participate in collecting the Little Owl individuals found in the region.Key words: Little Owl, distribution, Western Siberia.
