Roraiman Nightjar chick that he has been monitoring since the egg was laid. Got an excellent digiscoped photo. Then on to a pair of Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant, and amazing looks at a Stygian Owl on its day roost. I was stunned by this point and the lifers kept coming in Brown Jacamar, White-thighed Swallow, Black-eared Fairy, Coraya Wren, and then we ended the day, just before dusk, with the calls of Russet-crowned Crake. Very fitting. More
