The results of virology inspection of the wild birds living in territory of the Western Mongolia, carried out in 2003-2004 are presented. For the specified period influenza viruses H3 and H4 subtype hemagglutinins are isolated from birds. It is revealed taxonomic and ecological heterogeneity of the birds involved in maintenance of circulation of influenza viruses in the given territory. Influenza viruses are isolated from birds of 5 special groups; among them there are preferring water and nearwater biotops, a species preferring dry plain region, and also a species which habitat does not depend from water's territories.
