Urbanization leads to an increase in anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems. Birds are forced to adapt to new living conditions. This study is based on observations conducted from 2020 to 2026 at the left-bank wastewater treatment facilities in Voronezh, located in the lower part of the Voronezh Reservoir. During the observation period, four bird species were identified that are listed in the Red Book of the Voronezh Region. This is a Casmerodius albus L., Cygnus olor Gm., Haliaeetus albicilla L., Falcotinnun culus L. This article discusses bird species that, according to the characteristics of the rarity and vulnerability status of taxa and populations of vertebrates in the Voronezh Region, have a category 3 – rare. This category includes species (subspecies, populations) that are highly vulnerable, have a low natural population size, are restricted to a limited area (aquatic zone), or are sporadically distributed over a large area (aquatic zone) but have a low population size. The presence of Red Book species in the ornithofauna of the city of Voronezh indicates a high degree of their tolerance, the possibility of their settlement in the greater territory of the Voronezh Region, and the need for their protection.
