In Praise of Potoos
01/21/2021
A friend alerted me to a really cool blog by Stephen Bolwell called "Take a Picture -- Save the Planet."
I happened upon a post about Potoos (here) and remembered how much in awe I was whenever I saw them on trips to Belize with the Stiles Thomas Adventure Tours.
I took the photo above in Belize a decade ago. Time flies.
Of course, I had to wonder if James Bond wrote about Potoos in his legendary guidebooks. Duh!
I'd like to think that if spies were birds, they'd be Potoos...
Below: Bond's description of Potoos in the 1936 edition of Birds of the West Indies.
