Potoo (Nyctibius Grandis) bird camouflaged on a tree branch with brown and white feathers yawning in the rainforest

---

This Potoo bird in Spanish is called "Pájaro Estaca" and is a member of the Nyctibius family. During the day it stays still, imitating a branch. Its camouflage is excellent and when it senses danger it will stretch to look even more like a branch. This one had a chick hiding under its feathers.
