Nice shot. That bird looks like it could be well camouflaged in the forest.

Wow, that is one wicked cool looking bird! Sure doesn't look common to me!

 

[Donde]

Ha ha well that's it's name. Thanks for the comment.

Great capture.
It has a very elegant face and body complimented by one of the worst haircuts ever.

 

[Donde]

Haircut? Why there's not a hair on his head !.

It is well camouflaged. This is a really difficult bird to see and photo like that. It is the best photo of a potoo I have ever seen.
Where was it?

Thank you! It is definitely hard to catch them with their eyes open. Photo was taken in Colombia down the road from my house.

Here's another from the same encounter with eyes wide open.
