Ardent readers of this blog would realise by now that I have been chronicling a few days spent in Guyana last year – I felt that a single post or two would invariably exclude far too many sightings of note.

This is not the most confusing aspect of birds by any means, after all there are tanagers which belong in the cardinal family and cardinals that are tanagers. These birds occupy literally every terrestrial habitat within their extensive range, from high altitude forests to coastal, rocky habitat.

After leaving our hotel in the dark, we arrived at the small dock about half hour after sunrise – making one of many salient points about birding in Guyana: the country is vast! And so we did, but every subsequent sighting was of birds blitzing past. Further downriver, a tiny bird flitted on an open branch.

For these stunning birds are not easily found outside of the Guianas which includes Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana. On a trip to Suriname to find and film some of these spectacular species I was blown away by the birding.

Being relatively close to the city is a bit misleading, as this may lead one to think that the area is devoid of life – but let this be a gentle reminder that Guyana is 85% forested! The Point-tailed Palmcreeper is a strange bird in all senses. It was almost as if the bird was made for the tree.

We here at 10,000 Birds thought this would be a perfect time to look back and figure out what each of us considered our Best Bird of the Year, just like we did last year. Not only did we not expect to see this seabird this far inland, it was a life bird for me! We would like you to join in!

This happened in Trinidad and Guyana in the urban areas to make it easier and faster to eat the items, as the individuals’ hands would not get as dirty. I bolted mine down quickly both because it was so delicious and because I wanted to wander around and look for birds a bit. Just check out the iguanas!

Although by this time we had already clocked around a hundred species after a day and a half in Guyana, we were understandably eager to explore the famous rugged interior of the country. Now, I hadn’t a glimmer of hope of seeing this species before getting to Guyana. Unless, of course, a small aircraft is involved. What a beauty.
