Nickerie forms the western part of Suriname, with Nieuw Nickerie as the main town. It consists of lowlands, with many polders and marshes. The main human activity is rice farming. Nickerie has many places with a rich birdlive: the seacoast with mangrove, the lagoons with brackish water behind it and many fresh water swamps. Herons (I counted 13 species in the vicinity of the main town: Nieuw-Nickerie), scarlet ibises, birds of prey and migrating birds abound.
All of the names in the table are linked to pages on this website that describe the bird, and sometimes have one or more photos, sounds or videos of it. The table was created by J.H. Ribot, with the help of many birders.
