Saffron-crested tyrant-manakin

Photo of a Saffron-crested Tyrant-manakin, made by Pieter
Verheij near Phedra in January 2005 and below one madeNear
Zanderij by N. Takano (
personal
museum of natural history
, his copyright as with all the
other photographers) made in August 2004. These manakins are more
often heard than seen (sound of the
song
and the
call
recorded by Foek
Chin Joe on the same place in february 2004). They have a yellow-orange
patch on their heads (just visible), red eyes and a yellow belly
(that's easy). Best chance to meet them is in the savannas. They
have a nice display, Otte Ottema writes: "The bird was found
sitting on a horizontal branch about 5 m above the ground and was
constantly jumping about 20 cm high using its wings, while
singing each time it jumped. It was fanning its yellow-orange
crest in between two jumps, but not every time."
