Ducks and geese frequent it in the spring and fall, the white-bellied swallows (
Hirundo bicolor) skim over it, and the peetweets (Totanus macularius) "teeter" along its stony shores all summer.

We explore the potential cost of colonial nesting by examining the frequency with which North American Barn Swallows (
Hirundo rustica erythrogaster) laid eggs in empty nests located adjacent to active nests over a 6 y study and analyze the relationship between number of mislaid eggs and total available nests, which scales with colony size.
Interestingly, several species nesting in Sidi Reghis forests are mainly subservient to open areas (Calandra lark Melanocorypha calandra, Maghreb lark, Wood lark Lullula arborea, Eurasian skylark Alauda arvensis, Cirl bunting Emberiza cirlus and rock bunting Emberiza cia) and urban land (white stork Ciconia ciconia, rock dove Columba livia, European turtle dove barn swallow
Hirundo rustica, common house hartin Delichon urbicum and house sparrow).

hirundo "gaviotin comun", es abundante tanto en las playas arenosas como en el espejo de agua de las lagunas; presente en bandadas de centenares de individuos.
It is also habitat to some European migrants like the Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) and the Barn Swallow (
