Birds of the Warappakreek, along the coast of SurinameBirds in Suriname

The table gives all the birds that I could find reported to be observed (seen, heard, caught) in the immediate surroundings of the Warappakreek, between Bakkie (Reijnsdorp) and the coast. It is a small area north of the Commewijne River. The site has two bird observation cabins. The pictures of the Scarlet ibis along the Warappakreek at 06.30 h and of the bird observation cabin were made by Bas Spek.
All birds of one species seen on the same day are counted as one observation. The list was made by J.H. Ribot, with the help of many birders. Most birds in the table have a link to a page on this site with photo.
