abstract = "C{\^o}te d'Ivoire has diverse avifauna of both terrestrial and aquatic species, most of which are poorly studied. This survey of ten lakes within the city of Yamoussoukro focused on the diversity of birds at these sites, and the role of the lakes as staging points or habitats for
waterbirds. I recorded 33 species in 10 families: of these 84.3% were defined as dominant species, 13.2% occurred regularly, while 2.5% were rare or vagrants. Species diversity varied between the different lakes. Of these waterbirds, 68.4% were resident species in C{\^o}te d'Ivoire, 31.6%
were migrants (of which 25% were intra-African migrants, and 75% Palaearctic migrants). Socio-economic surveys in parallel with the counts showed that ecotourism (birding at the lakes) was one of the main activities at these sites. ",
