Observation details

***Perhaps one of the highlights of the trip was finding (all on my own!) a day-roosting Andean Potoo along the Jocotoco Trail. What I assume was the same bird returned at dusk to the mirador (did not vocalize tonight), landing on fence post, and I was prepared this time for better photos!
