Christmas Present !! (Leucopternis melanops)

The Christmas present of my fiance while we were in Brazil for bird teaching project was to find this wonderful raptor.

It didn't move for four minutes perching silently on a branch then disappeared inside the dense primary forest. We didn't see that species anymore for the rest of our five months stay...

A very nice present. Thanks Rosa!
