Common Pauraque 1

This beauty had a day roost right near one of the nature trails at Santa Ana NWR for part of the time we were there. We loved to approach the roost and play where's waldo to see who could find the bird first. Check out that camoflage.

Fantastic shot! Now I see why we had to wait til almost dark to see them. Really superb camouflage. GMV
