Sometimes, when a group of birders suddenly stops along the road, there's a good reason.
In this case, it was a pair of Pied Puffbirds perched above us in the Panamanian rainforest.
These moments are one of the things I love most about birding travel. A quick stop can turn into an unforgettable encounter with a species you've only dreamed of seeing.
What's the most memorable bird you've found because someone else spotted it first?
