Wonderful photo of this Ecuador-Peru-Brazil bird! Like some Owls, with an unusual, spectacular very Dark brown (Nightjar) plumage, even on the throat (just a thin white necklace) - although some literature states that Ocellated (adult) has a White throat). PS: African Nightjars get lucent eyes in electric car light at night - but rarely pinkish. One might believe that the dark Ocellated in daytime stays in/on darker environment than other Nightjar species?? Many thanks, ANDERS ............ C.

Not only Ecuador-Peru-Brazil, there seems to exit a small population in Central America, although records are very rare. However, recently a group of birders photo-documented an Ocellated Poorwill at Refugio Bartola in Nicaragua, arguably one of the best rain forest lodges in Central America.

Thanks for showing interest in this picture - thinking that we walked without a trail for around 300 meters straight into the rainforest, I sometimes wonder how these guides find such birds. There are pretty tough rivalry inbetween guides, even within the same lodge and this bird (and the Crested owl) was his little secret.
