    It's a unicorn!
    I'd never seen screamers before this trip, it was great to finally run into them!
    This one flew over the palm swamp looking like a massive eagle before perching atop this tree, right across from the platform where I was, giving me nice eye level views.

The Horned screamer

The horned screamer is a member of a small family of birds, the Anhimidae, which occurs in wetlands of tropical South America. There are three screamer species, the other two being the southern screamer and the northern screamer in the genus "Chauna". They are related to the ducks, geese and swans, which are in the family Anatidae, but have bills looking more like those of game birds.
