MARCH 23rd
Today I stayed close to the base spending time around the
Lagoon and on the Arroyito trail. Two Snowy Egret and three Neotropical
Cormorants were the highlights on the lake. The day seemed to be heading the
same way as the previous day until I returned to the Arroyito trail just before
the evening meal.
I spied a Pale-vented Pigeon on the far side of the
stream which is still in full flow. Then I heard alarm calls of Pale-breasted
Thrush. What was all the commotion about, Then a Spot billed Toucanet homed
into view. Wow what a fantastic looking bird and not something I was expecting
to see at Laguna Blanca!

After dinner I popped out to the lagoon and heard
Ash-Throated Crake calling. This bird is a lifer for me so I need to see it for
it to make my list. This could be tricky. I spent a while looking at suitable
playback points with a dawn/ dusk visit in mind.
Whilst doing this I caught up with the Pauraque but was
unable to photograph it on this occasion.
