Observation details
Female bird around T2_SS1 giving exceptional views and vocal display down to a few metres for ~10minutes. Only after did we realise that the bird was in fact on an occupied nest. A very rare bird in Cusuco, but still persists despite hunting pressure (although reduced pressure in recent years). My first GC seen in the park in a decade of fieldwork after hearing a male singing in 2016. An exceptional vocal display by the aggravated female, circling us as close as <5m, various calls but predominantly low guttural grunts (see recording). Very mammal like.
