FAUNA PARAGUAY CALLS AND VOCALISATIONS PAGE
This page is the temporary home for species for which we have voice recordings but no photographs or video, so we have not yet been able to set up an image gallery for them. If you have photos taken in Paraguay of any of the species please contribute them to the site so that we can "promote" the species below to the image gallery!!
Eleven species of bird and one amphibian are currently included on this page and are listed in alphabetical order by scientific name with birds first. Calls of other species accompany the respective image galleries, accessed via the drop-down menu at the top left of the screen.
Click on the links to hear the call of the species. Longer versions of this call can be downloaded from the Paraguay page of our partner website Xeno-Canto - the largest collection of freely downloadable Neotropical bird calls available online.
