Birds

There are 85 species of birds –among which the great egret, the snowy egret, the red-tailed tropicbird, the bridled tern, the Herminier puffin, the little tern and of course the pelican— present in Saint Martin, and 55 of these species are protected.
Several species are the subject of a scientific study, including the brown noddy, a protected species that nests on the cliffs of Tintamare.
