Pardon Me Mrs.Pauraque
I was walking through Manuel National Park last month and because I have been in the park before I wasn't really paying attention. I hired a guide because many of the animals are hard to see without a spotting scope. The guide was showing the kids a Parrot Snake and a sloth when out of the corner of my eye caught the tail feather. At first i thought it was a toad. I immediately stopped in my tracks avoiding accidentally disturbing the nest of the Common Pauraque part of the Nightjar family. Evidently it was a good find. Next thing i know a crowd of tourists and their guides with spotting scopes set up but only after i snapped a photo.
