Voice? These Brown Wood Rails give a shrieking end-of-day chorus!
Five fast-growing juveniles now join their parents in the end-of-day foraging in the secluded yard!

On Saturday, friends and I will divide our time between Poza Honda and la Segua/near Chone.
I’d never seen a Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis)until last year’s trip to the Segua. I’d lived in Manabi for years and never stopped to enjoy this amazing ecosystem!
They definitely live up to their name!
How well do you know the birds of the Segua? Here are some images from last year’s Global Big Day outing – see if you can spot the illegal alien – ‘American Bullfrog.’
