Description
During the spring and autumn migration periods, many wetland birds pass through Yerevan Lake, including various ducks such as (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια, (Ευρωπαϊκη) Βαλτόπαπια, and others, as well as waders like Ποταμοσφυριχτής and Καλαμοκανάς. Additionally, the migration routes of some birds of prey, such as Τσίφτης and (Ευρωπαϊκός) Σφηκιάρης, pass through the lake. In summer Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι, (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα, Τσιχλοποταμίδα, Καλαμοτριλιστής and others nest here. In winter, the lake becomes a refuge for (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι and Καστανοκέφαλος Γλάρος.
