White bellbird
Photo of a male white bellbird, made by J.S. Dunning?
This bird can often be heard in forested places above 500
meter like on the Brownsberg. Its
sound
(25 kB)
is explosively loud and has a metallic ring to it
(recorded by Ottema). In the Brownsberg nature reserve it is
often heard between October and March and is the most 'striking'
sound. The wattle at the beak of the male moves when it sings. It
prefers look-outs from high trees to sing. I only know it from
its sound or from seeing a white dot far away in the top of a
tree along the side of the mountain. The female is green and
yellow and inconspicious. The bellbird likes to "sing"
mainly in the dry season in Suriname (around March and October)
as can be seen in the graph that gives the number of reports in
differents months, mainly from hearing the male. The reports from
July and August come allmost all from the savanna region, where
it seems to sing mainly in this months (noticed by O.Ottema).
