新疆准噶尔盆地猎隼（Falco cherrug）繁殖期食性及其对鼠类的防控

The experiment investigation was carried out from March to July in 2005 in Xinjiang to find that the mouse was the main food of Saker Falcon. In the investigation, 342 food pellets were found, in which there were 287 food pellets mixed with mouse hair, which occupied 83.9%. There were 117 food pellets mixed with mouse bones, which occupied 34.2%. In 117 remains of Saker food, Rhombomys opimus occurred more than 15 times. Based on watching breeding, mouse was also the main food of Saker Falco. Because the great number of mice was preyed on in breeding season, the birds of prey have positive effect on controlling mouse harmfulness.
