This bird was sighted by one of the paddlers on our raft trip. The guide said many birders would pay big money to see one of these. It's a night predator that is similar to an owl, but is actually a nightjar like the nighthawk and whip-poor-will.

This rufus-tailed hummingbird had this a favorite roost between our room at Tiajari and the restaurant. He looked forlorn early in the morning after a night-time light rain.
