EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a nightlight when you have the Common Potoo? This nocturnal wonder is the ultimate guardian of the dark, perched on its stem throne in Tobago's moonlit paradise. With its piercing gaze and elegant grey feathers, this adult Potoo rules over the tropical neotropics like a true monarch of the night. In this snapshot captured by Kevin Elsby, we witness nature's very own superhero in action. The lesser-known but equally fascinating cousin of owls, these mysterious birds possess an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Their stealthy presence adds an air of intrigue to any Caribbean island adventure. As if plucked straight from a fantasy novel, this West Indian beauty showcases its impeccable camouflage skills against the backdrop of Trinidad and Tobago's lush greenery. Its enigmatic silhouette leaves us wondering what secrets lie within those watchful eyes. So next time you find yourself wandering through Tobago after sunset, keep your eyes peeled for our elusive friend - the Common Potoo. And remember, even in darkness, there is always room for enchantment and awe-inspiring encounters with nature's most extraordinary creatures.
