Ornithological surveys were conducted in the city of Grand-Bassam from April 2010 to March 2011 in order to improve the knowledge on urban coastal birds in C
The 10 approval lakes of the city of Yamoussoukro have been a regular bird monitoring from December 2011 to December 2013. During this period, the method of listening points allowed inventory of 101 species divided into 13 orders and 36 families with Spot Index of Abundance of 5988 individuals. This bird is characterized in terms of abundance, by one dominant species, 13 regular species, 36 rare species and 51 accidental species; at the habitat, 53 species of open areas, 40 wetland species, six generalist species forest and two mixed species habitat; at the bio geographical origin by 60 resident species, 15 species and 26 species of Palearctic mixed origins. Considering the achievements of previous studies, we have reassessed the overall species richness of lakes at 111 species and 50 species of water birds. These lakes, although in urban areas, are proving of great interest for the conservation of birds, particularly water fowl including some ecological parameters are now better known.
