Xenornis

Yesterday morning's Panama Audubon birdwalk for beginners culminated, as it has for the last couple of months, with a visit to the Common Potoo that's been roosting by the guard booth at the base of La Cienaguita trail. This time, though, the bird was perched over a ball of gray fuzz: a baby potoo. Photo by Les Lieurance .

There is a Common Potoo in the Metropolitan Park, Panama City, very easy to see, it has been there for the last 8 days. From the office drive a few 100m towards the city and park at the guard station. The Potoo is about 30m across the guard station, 10m up on an exposed branch, perfect for a good picture. If you do not find it ask the guard (he showed it to me).
