Over 700 avian species call the country of Suriname. The nation is a hotspot of biodiversity, with the tropical environments suiting the birds that live there. Some notable avifauna living here include the Harpy Eagle, the Scarlet Macaw, the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, the Guianan Toucanet, and the Blue-and-yellow Macaw.
Some of the best birding sites in Suriname include Brownsberg Nature Park, Galibi Nature Reserve, and Bigi Pan Lagoon. The peak season for birding in Suriname is during the country’s dry season, typically from late January to early August. During this time, the weather is more predictable, with fewer rain showers and less humidity, making it easier to explore various birding sites and observe a wide variety of avian species.
