2. Shares similar 'frogmouth' shape as the mournful Potoo

The strange, haunting call of the Common Potoo is a common night sound in rainforests in parts of Central and South America. The call consists of up to 8 mournful, descending notes which drop in pitch.

The sounds of the Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus) in this video were recorded in lowland rainforest in the Ecuadorian Amazon. This species is known as Nictibio Común in Spanish. More examples of wildlife sounds and bird calls can be found on my website https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sou...

All of the sounds featured on this channel were recorded on location by Wild Ambience. I am a professional nature sound recordist and my work is regularly used in wildlife documentaries, films, musical compositions, museum exhibits and sound art installations.
