It is impressive and shocking at its size. It is most associated with nightjars, but these are up to 100 grams. Northern potoo weighs less than 300 grams. The silhouette froze this one, but sitting in the sun all day is amazing (over 30 C). Fortunately, clouds appeared on that day and less contrasting photos were taken. Potoo practically did not move, any attempt to approach him could have resulted in his departure, I stopped at this commemorative photo. Of course, without the indication of our guide, the presented photo would not have been created, because there was one bird position on the long route.
