The Bare-eyed Thrush is easily recognised by its yellow-orange eye ring. It is often seen in Paramaribo, especially in the Cultuurtuin. The sound of the bare-eyed thrush was taped by Otte Ottema. Photos of a Bare-eyed thrush, the first one made by Foek Chin Joe, the second one by Carla Out, both in 2007 in Suriname and the third one by Ricardo van Dijk at Hotel de Plantage in the Commewijne district in February 2009. Michel Giraud-Audine saw his bird near Wayabo in French Guiana in October 2013 in a Ficus. Dominiek Plouvier made a video in Commewijne in September 2022. |

The 372 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 84 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. |
