Common Pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis)

This bird was on a path we followed in the middle of the day. Initially we were afraid it was hurt, because it held the wing strangely and did not fly very well when it finally did. It then flew away in small increments, becoming a better flyer for each time.
All this was leading us to believe that there might have been a nest somewhere close to where the ordeal started, and that it was tricking us to follow it away from there. We did not see it when we walked back down the same path.
