A digital drawing of a Common potoo.
The bird looks rather funny with its big yellow eyes that have uneven pupils. It looks like a caricature but these birds look really goofy. This one has become a bit smoother and cartoonish with the digital version. The bird is sitting on a branch. The drawing was done in the digital drawing programme Pro Create.
The background of the drawing is a marbled paper texture. The colour is dark purple with blue-green. This dark shade was chosen because these birds are nocturnal.
This very special bird is found from Mexico to Nicaragua, also in the Greater Antilles. As its name suggests, it is a nocturnal bird. During the day, the bird sits on a branch and is almost invisible due to its camouflage colour as it looks exactly like a branch.
Because this bird hunts at night, it has very large and light-sensitive eyes. Its beak can open very wide and is very broad the beak goes from ear to ear. It catches insects with it.
