#BirdOfTheDay is #QuietMoments. So we have a Common Potoo chilling on his stump trying to blend in.

I'm a bit late as been celebrating my Wife's birthday in London.

Common Potoo
(Nyctibius jamaicensis)

Usually a large ROUND faced bird, this one posed as a stick as I walked by. These are such cool birds!

Common Potoo Tidbit #3: the potoo’s eerie wail of puh-tOO earned them the title of the ‘poor-me-ones’ as well as the nickname of the ‘ghost-bird’.

I wrote another poem based on the common potoo! I based it on its call of puh-too.

Common Potoo Tidbit #1: the common potoo’s eyes are built to see in dim environments, and can even sense movement with their lids shut.
