Lovely birds--we saw one in Belize. Our guide knocked two flat stones together to call him out. Worked like a charm.

How did you possibly get this footage - with the agouti as well? This is amazing. The best footage of this species anywhere.

[@ArnonDattner]

Thanks, it was mainly about spending lot of time with this species and getting to know the behavior of this specific individual :)
