Long-tailed Potoo article published

My article on the new diagnostic identification feature for Long-tailed Potoo that I discovered in 2010 at REGUA in Brazil's Atlantic Forest has now been published. Check out A new identification feature for Long-tailed Potoo Nyctibius aethereus in the latest issue of Neotropical Birding - the magazine of the Neotropical Bird Club.

If you're interested in Neotropical birds and are not already a member then it is well worth joining the Neotropical Bird Club. They are helping to promote birding and conservation in Latin America and their annual journal Cotinga and bi-annual magazine Neotropical Birding are both excellent, and more than justify the £21 joining fee!

  1. Many thanks to Johan Ingels for emailing this excellent paper documenting the first records of Long-tailed Potoo, race N. a. longicaudatus in French Guiana. The photos clearly show the upturned feathers on the upperparts.
