The bird was calling repeatedly to tape from a dense thicket in a swampy area full of Fer-de-Lance. It wouldn't budge and all I could see was the beak between stems! Over an hour passed before I got to see the rest of it.In terms of hours put in, White-winged Nightjar has to be near the top. I spent 5 nights searching solely for this species in Paraguay, including a 6 hour walk through habitat in the middle of the night. Nada until on the 5th night, I finally connected with a stonking singing male displaying feet away from me. Birds like that are amplified by the effort involved.</blockquote>
