Where are the birds?
Other than the sugar birds that we see everywhere, and often next to a hummingbird, it is rare to see a pelican, egret, frigate, or other large species.
Small groups of individual birds of various species can be seen here and there.
The Réserve Naturelle hopes that the birds flew away before hurricane Irma hit the island, and that they will come back shortly. Various species seen in Saint Martin are migratory — such as the brown noddy, which normally would be gone from Tintamre by early September — and they are not afraid of long distances. We should see a large number of species return over the next few months.
