BRAZIL: Great Potoo.

The Pantanal is rightly famous for its waterbirds and macaws, but the woodlands have plenty to offer too. We did a bit of nightbirding for Tropical Screech-Owl (successfully) and also saw this Great Potoo by day too. Other goodies in the dry forests included Planalto Slaty-Antshrike, White-naped Xenopsaris, Rufous Casiornis, White-wedged Piculet, Red-billed Scythebill and Pale-crested Woodpeckers.
