Time to head back to Mexico for a short while. Our stay in the San Blas area gave us plenty of opportunities to search for waterbirds as usual, mainly from the boats at La Tobara mangroves. Our first excursion late in the afternoon was primarily to search for Northern Potoo. We were successful once again this year with many seen as well as Pauraque, Lesser Nighthawks and even a glimpse of a Mottled Owl.Our second boat trip was in search of the elusive Rufous-necked Wood-Rail which we duly found thanks to our expert boatman who stationed us in a prime spot of mangroves to lure out our quarry. A Collared Forest-Falcon (above) was a real bonus as it flew across the river after a period of calling. The shot above is of the bird seen the following day at Cerro de San Juan. CFF's on consecutive days - can't be bad.
