Yellow-chinned /Yellow-throated spinetail
Yellow-throated spinetail in Suriname
The yellow-throated spinetail eats insects that it find between
the grass stalks, often feeding in couples with some young, just
out of the nest. The young do not yet have a yellow marking on
their throat, but even with the adults this is difficult to see.
Sometimes an egg of a striped cuckoo gets into their nest. How a
female cuckoo performs such an act (passing the entrance tube), I
don't know.
Photo by Pieter Verhey of a bird with an spider, maybe going to
its nest, in January 2007 and one by J.S. Dunning, both made in
Suriname and below a picture made by Erik Toorman in July 2007 at
Pomona in Suriname.

on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of
each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna
and red for rainforest. Prefers wet places
