Manakin casse-noisette - Manacus manacus

These birds create a lekking area in dense shade just above the forest floor. They clear the area of debris remove leaves from the branches. The lek consists of a small number of leggy upright saplings about 2-3 metres apart with nothing between. The males dance back forward between these vertical branches sticking out their 'beards' making strange crackling noises -like high voltage electric sparks!
