Despite having the lowest participation in three years, the number of individuals and species observed was still quite high, due to the experience of the field observers and the diverse habitat represented by the five teams in the field. Those habitats include low mountains, lakes, rivers, mangrove, beach, urban, and agricultural fields.
The low water level at Etang Lachaux eliminated an important habitat for diver ducks. Additionally, there were locals hunting at Etang Laborde the day of the count, which drastically limited bird numbers from an area that is normally very productive. Warbler numbers were lower this year, but the numbers for most other expected species were consistent with the number of participants in the count.
