| Scientific Name | Burhinus superciliaris |

| Location | Chaparrí Private Conservation Area, Lambayeque, Peru |
| Comments | These birds are apparently quite uncommon - we only saw them this once, but there were about 20 in the group! They inhabit desert scrub and agricultural lands of coastal lowlands and are mostly nocturnal, so we were lucky to find them. |
