ABOUT THE BIRD SPECIES...

The Common Potoo, Grey Potoo or Lesser Potoo (Nyctibius griseus), is a nocturnal bird which breeds in tropical Central and South America from Nicaragua to northern Argentina and northern Uruguay. The Northern Potoo (N. jamaicensis) was formerly classified as a subspecies of this species.

This potoo is a large cypselomorph bird related to the nightjars and frogmouths.

It is a resident breeder in open woodlands and savannah.

This nocturnal insectivore hunts from a perch like a shrike or flycatcher.
