Lesser Kiskadee in Suriname
The photo above the text was made by Erik Toorman in July 2007

places, especially marshes in the coastal area. It has a smaller,
longer bill than the more common Great Kiskadee and a different
call. In the recording from Otte Ottema, made in a swamp near
Palumeu in Suriname, you hear the "kiskadee" sound of
the Great kiskadee �nd a
