| Abstract: | - 1.1. This study deals with the hematological and blood chemistry of 13 adult marsh harriers (Circus aeruginosus).
- 2.2. No significant differences were observed between male and female groups in any of the parameters.
- 3.3. The value of white blood cells was 14,677/mm3 heterophils and lymphocytes, these being the most abundant cellular type (81.42 and 12%, respectively).
- 4.4. Urea and uric acid are present in approximately similar proportions, though birds are said to be uricotelic.
- 5.5. The cholesterol concentration values determined in our study, are higher than those reported in most other birds.
