Photo of a captured Peach-fronted Parakeet by John Mittermeier on the Sipaliwini savanna in 2007. The Sipaliwini savanna has more bird species in common with the cerrado in North-Eastern Brazil, then for instance with the savanna near Zanderij or in Guyana. It seems in former ice-ages Sipaliwini was larger and connected to similar areas in Brazil. Recent articles by for instance John Mittermeier and Brian O'Shea confirm this idea. It makes the Sipaliwini a special place, more than worth to protect.
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. The savanna in the south is the Sipaliwini savanna.
