Double-striped Thick-knee

The Double-striped Thick-knee is a large shorebird of lowland dry grassland and savannas that is usually found in pairs or small groups. Usually active at night.


During the daytime, usually seen standing or sitting quietly, often in the shade of small trees or bushes which is where we observed this bird. Named for the double stripes on it’s head. A bird we had observed in Panama but were certainly glad to observe up close.
