Boat-billed flycatcher in Suriname
Photo of a made by N. Takano (
personal
museum of natural history
, his copyright as with all the
other photographers) in August 2004 near the indian village of
Powaka on the Afobaka road. If you know the
sound of the boat-billed flycatcher
(the
screaming sound "hya hya hya" in this recording, made
by Ottema, not the whistle of the Finsch's euhonia with which it
begins) you can hear them almost everywhere, but especially
calling from trees on open places. The bird looks like the more
common Great kiskadee, but it clearly has a heavier bill (and
another call). Some have a yellow, some an orange patch on their
head, but in this picture you don't see the patch. A
