Media notes
Bird at night roost. Called 3 times before we located its roosting tree at around 2 meters above the ground in a lagoon side in Cureña private forest adjacent to Laguna Lagarto Lodge in Boca Tapada.
Observation details
MEGA! Seen and photographed at a night roost after chasing it when it called before roosting. Male. Tawny face well seen. Photos attached. First called around 6:20pm and then at around 6:30. Between two guys (Didier and Giovanni) we triangle the possible roosting location which was located at the opposite side of the lagoon right in front of the second banana feeding station (not the main one by the restaurant but the alternative by the newer rooms). We took a paddle canoe in the dark and got off in the other shore and walk around 600 meters in steep muddy slope checking all trees. We found it roosting above eye level in a small tree a few feet away from an old dirt log-extraction trail on property of a farm known as La Belen. Didn't move. We took a few photos and did a video at the location available at https://www.instagram.com/bird.with.juand/?hl=en and then walk away.
