Forest-falcons are a difficult group in general. Without taping them, one often only sees glimpses of these birds as they fly swiftly off from a low branch or when they pass by on eye height. During my visit I've heard Collared (a few near the coast), Barred (a few), Slaty-backed (once) and Lined Forest-falcon (common, but mostly inland). The latter species is said to probably be the most abundant diurnal raptor over much of lowland forest Amazonia (HBW 2). It's occurs in terra firme forest, ranging to 1600 m. in some areas, but primarily dwells in the lowlands. An estimated 70 individuals occupied 10.000 ha in a forest in French Guiana. I heard it often, but I only definitely saw this species once, when I taped it in. It took me a while to let it perch in sight, so I could film it.

McConnell's Flycatcher:
This species occupies the lower growth of humid forest, primarily in terra firme (dry forests on rich soil), but also in forest plantations, second growth, and river-flooded or tide-flooded varzea forest (HBW 9). This species seems to be present in almost every small insectivores understorey flock in Suriname, mostly on rich soils, as is indeed described above, but also on poorer soils. There it was only seen by me in forest stands with a canopy of appr. 10-1 m. high, so it could be transitional forests. In the flocks it mostly feeds on insects, but it also seeks out small fruits. Both food types are attained by short hover-gleans from it's perch, 1 to 25 (to my experience most often 1 to 8 m.)
