Another look at the wetland today produced a small flock of the hoped for Black-legged Dacnis - a rare and endangered Brazilian Atlantic Forest endemic that is difficult to catch up with, but lately seems to have become a REGUA speciality. Otherwise the birding today was fairly quiet, although a sortie this evening for Black-banded Owl was partially successful with 2 birds heard calling. I'll be trying hard to see these birds on this trip. This reintroduced Red-billed Curassow, one of 48 birds released at REGUA, has taken up residence in the lodge garden - an amazing looking bird!
