Birds of Zanderij (J.A. Pengel airport) in Suriname

The table gives all the birds (over 400 species) that I could find reported to be observed (seen, heard, caught) in the surroundings of Zanderij airport (with Hannover savanna and Colakreek). The number indicates the number of times an observer made a report that was processed into my database (the high number for the crested bobwhite indicates that it is savanna area). All birds of one species seen on the same day are counted as one observation. The start of the observations is 1950, the Giant snipe for instance has not been seen around Zandery for many years.
Many birds in the list below are linked to a page with description, photo and sometimes their sound on this website
