White-crowned Manakin: A picture of a male and one of a female made by Brian O'Shea in the Ralleighfalls nature reserve in Suriname in 2002. Then a picture made long ago by J.S. Dunning in Guyana. And more recent by Matthias fernandez in Nouragues in French Guiana in October 2013. These manakins are common in the understory of the forests of the interior, where they eat berries. The very short high-pitched sound of a White-crowned Manakin was taped by Otte Ottema. Sean Dilrosun made a short video of a quiet male. |

The 281 reported observations of this bird in Suriname, mainly for the last 50 years up to 2018, have been grouped by month. More birds on one day are counted as one observation. Of course, if the graph should depict the total number of birds seen, the differences between the months could be much more pronounced. | The reported breeding observations of this bird in Suriname. Most observations are about nest with eggs, some about fledglings, or feeding at a nest or the building of a nest. Of the about 5000 nests and eggs found for all species together, about 1/3 comes from the egg collection of Penard between 1896 and 1905. For some reason most collecting then was done in the first half of each year, so the shown distribution does not necessarily reflect the actual breeding preferences. The main dry season in Suriname is reckoned to be from half August to the end of November, the main wet season from half April to half August, but the the timing of begin and end does vary from year to year. Around March a second dry season often occurs. |
