Long-tailed potoo

Nyctibius aethereus

 

Potoos are nocturnal birds who spend their days perched on branches making themselves look like stumps. When they think they have been spotted they stick their heads straight up and freeze. This is definitely one of the more bizarre birds I've been fortunate enough to photograph. Stay tuned for more bizarre.
