Why it matters
The Northern Potoo is a master of camouflage, possessing a rounded tail and broad wings that help it blend seamlessly into dead tree stumps during the day. Nocturnal and largely sedentary, this bird is prized by observers for its elusive nature and its uncanny ability to remain perfectly still until the cover of darkness.
