Amazon advent Day 8


From Collared Peccaries to Collared Puffbird!  My first four seasons at the lodge, I had only ever heard this secretive beauty, enlisting the the expert help of Rich Hoyer in 2016 to finally find me my first and, until this year, only one.  One morning, though, I was investigating the noise of a mixed flock when I looked up and found this sitting quietly directly above the trail.  I even managed to summon another guide who had never seen one and his guest for great looks before it disappeared off into the forest, not to be seen again.
