Rock View Lodge Bird List

Rock View Lodge has become a favourite location for bird watchers from around the world. Exciting bird lists have been prepared for the villages of Annai and Surama as well as for the Canopy Walkway and the Field Station in the Iwokrama Rainforest. Visitors can see for themselves how the distribution of birds varies from savannah to mountain, river and rainforest. Enthusiasts will be able to have the thrill of being able to add to these lists for future visitors and bird lovers.

Here is a list of (486) bird species observed for Annai (savannah, mountains and river), Surama (savannah, mountains, river and rainforest) and the Iwokrama Rainforest (mainly rainforest with mountains and rivers). These lists are never complete as new species are being added to from time to time.
