	Lesser Potoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lesser Potoo or Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus), is a nocturnal bird which breeds in tropical Central and South America from Costa Rica to northern Argentina and northern Uruguay.
		This potoo is a resident breeder in open woodlands and savannah.
		The Lesser Potoo is a large near passerine bird related to the nightjars and frogmouths, but like other potoos it lacks the bristles around the mouth found in the true nightjars.

		One ‘nest’ with a single egg located on a dead snag, only 5m above the ground in secondary growth woodland at the edge of an aguajal, near the Amazonia Lodge clearing in August 2000.
		Incubated by both parents, the chick took shelter under the breast plumage of the parental birds (unlike that of the Great Potoo).
		Note: when hand feeding the injured captive potoo, it would not accept certain moths unless the wings had been removed.

	Rediscovery of the White-winged Potoo (Nyctibius leucopterus)
		Considering that Wied passed through Caravelas a year before arriving at Conquista and made no mention in his travel journal (Wied 1821) of a White-winged Potoo from that re- gion, I believe that the Caravelas bird was the N. griseus, which Wied decided later must be conspecific with the type N. leucopterus.

		It was cool and overcast with temperatures dipping into the high 60’s, a pleasant change from the warmer and very humid conditions of the previous days.
		After a brief stop for breakfast we birded the varzea and finally found a large antswarm with many accompanying antbirds which we stayed with for about an hour and left it only after we were satisfied we had seen every bird that was in the flock.
		It would be the last night that the entire group would be together for dinner and, as is tradition, we all chose our three favorite birds of the trip.

		The Common Potoo was sitting in its favoured tree just where the Oilbird Trail starts, but it got so very wet that we gave up at this point and returned to the veranda until the rain eased.
		The Potoo was still there, trying to dry off, and the White-bearded Manakins were lekking in their normal spot.
		A Common Potoo was found in a clearing, sitting quite upright on a low stump, providing a nice contrast with the roosting bird high in a tree at Asa Wright.

		At the time, that species was unrecorded for the entirety of Manu National Park, which has a birdlist of just at 1000 total species and is the richest single site of comparable size for bird diversity in the world.
		A couple of nights later I was able to show the potoo to lodge owner Santiago Yabar, who promptly named it "Raul", which is a remarkably good approximation of its howling call.
		I am happy to say that the potoo has now nested in the same spot by the lodge for the past couple of years and has become a regular feature for visiting birders.

		I found that birding overall was better at Sacha Lodge because the birds hadn't been taped out along the trails as they have at La Selva.
		Undulated Tinamou and Amazonian Umbrellabird can be seen on the walk in (with luck of course) and Castelnau's Antshrike can be heard from a thick stand of reeds (or what I think were reeds from my failing memory) near the trail.
		A colony of Hoatzins is next to the Lodge instead of on the other side of the cocha as at La Selva.

		We saw two potoos fly away and one could easily have been the Long-tailed but too late we missed it.
		We spent three hours crawling on our stomachs through helliconia and mud to get a bad glimpse of a singing Amazonian Antpitta which we never re-found, and even gave up a calling Buckley’s Forest-falcon to stay with the Antpitta the first time when we didn’t even see it.
