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.

Each small square indicates the observation of at least one
(group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations
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
