Photo by Carl Beel at Weg naar Zee in Suriname in September 2008 and by Dominiek Plouvier (below). This flycatcher is common in the mangrove stands near the sea, it can still be found near Paramaribo. It finds insects in trees and shrubs. The mangrove, by the way, protects the land from the rising sea as the mud under the trees slowly builds up as the sea level rises. So besides the richness of species it supports, the mangrove also stands out as usefull against inundations. Just remarking this because it seems to disappear everywhere in the world. This is a sound of the Brown-crested flycatcher, recorded by Alexandre Renaudier in Mana, French Guiana, near the border with Suriname
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds in Suriname, 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. Almost all observations were in mangrove-forest along the coast, where it is common.
