Since of the beginning of the 20th century on the island and adjacent areas there were registered 146 species. Now the list includes 247 species, but many rare species are actually absent. Previous field studies discovered an interesting faunistic crossroad on Zmeiny Island: over the last 20 years elements of Mediterranean fauna penetrate to the north and north-east, and Siberean fauna moved to south-west. In October 2008 synchronized counts and catches of migratory birds were conducted on Zmeiny Island and along sea coast near the island. Synchronic passage of migration waves was proved, as well as similarity of number dynamics, species composition, flight direction and periods of maximal numbers of dominated species on the island and along the coast.
