[Sorry for the delay in posting my Guyana pictures/diary. Internet connections here are very slow and uploading even small picture files is problematic.]
A night of heavy rain turned our battered road into a muddy, greasy quagmire today, and we slipped and slithered our way south to Surama village. A handful of vehicles passed us as we birded along the road and one managed to splash an impressively large curtain of brown slime through an open window into one of our trucks. After that, we pedestrians retreated much further off the road whenever anyone approached, I can assure you!
This snoozing Great Potoo was a late afternoon highlight near Surama; it's amazing how effective its plumage and stance are at camouflaging the bird's outline. (The bird's in the middle of the picture, in case you're having trouble finding it.)
This was one of my many little roommates, which spent most of the evening hanging on a wall in the bathroom. I have no idea what species it is.
