Yellow-chinned /Yellow-throated spinetail
Yellow-throated spinetail in Suriname
A small and inconspicious bird ( length 14 cm), that is better
known for its song and nest then for its looks.
It lives hidden between long grasses along watercourses and in
marshes. Often the most you see, is the movement of the grass,
while you hear its unmistakable song: long and vibrating, it
lasts for more then ten seconds and fades away at the end, as if
the spinetail were out of breath. Good places to hear it are at
Leiding, Weg naar Zee or along the Vijfde Rijweg. If you can
imitate
the sound of the yellow-chinned
spinetail
