Bird TourIn April 2018 Nick Athanas, Fred Pansa (at the Fredberg), Ashraf Tilburg, 3 American birdwatchers and me broke the record of the highest number of birds seen on a tour in Suriname. We found 409 species in 12 days, 376 have been seen. (Click
here for the species list). The itinerary was almost similar to that of the standard 13 day-tour. To compare my result with that of the big international birding tour operators, we have to add
Feral Pigeon, which they all put on their lists. I refuse to do so. If you put such a species on your list, you might as well go to the zoo.
