Note bright red skin surrounding eyes; slightly decurved bill; gray-brown upperparts; whitish gray chin; long black and white tail makes up more than one-half of the total body length. I was thrilled to find this fascinating bird, particularly one that captured a lizard from beneath some tree bark. This was one of six I observed over the course of approx. 4 hours.

Living up to its namesake, I watched this one probe the tree bark until he found a lizard. In a matter of seconds, he swallowed the hapless lizard and started looking for more. I captured the sequence of the spectacle, starting with the second image. This was one of six I observed over the course of approx. 4 hours. They were very vocal, communicating with each other across the trees.

Monitoring biodiversity inside the Maya Biosphere Reserve, (spanish: Reserva de la Biosfera Maya-RBM), with special attention to the jaguar (Panthera onca) and its preys.
Helping to strengthen the ACOFOP's Community Monitoring Network using iNaturalist application.
We stayed 4 days near Chanchich river (actually known as Holmul river), at Paso Menchuga base camp. Melchor de Mencos, Petén, Guatemala.
The monitoring was inside these areas:
Unidad de Manejo La Unión (21176 ha), managed by Custodios de la Selva (CUSTOSEL), Sociedad Civil.
Unidad de Manejo Río Chanchich (12217 ha), managed by Impulsores Suchitecos.
CUSTOSEL and Suchitecos are both part of ACOFOP (Asociación de Comunidades Forestales de Petén).
