Hello every one and thanks for looking at my work. I've been very busy with work and other things so that has keep me away from the forum.
Today I want to share this pic of a northern potoo, this is a special species due to their fantastic camouflage that makes them go undetected. This species is almost identical to the common potoo, but geographic location and vocalization can help to tell them apart.
In Costa Rica we call them ''pajaro estaca'' or stick bird since they roots on an exposed perch during the day. I found this one on the north western part of the country so is very likely to be a Nyctibius jamaicensis. This one here is not resting yet, that's why I found it with and open eye and desided to make a very close portrait of this guy.
