See the movement? They look like they're in a hurry. Yes, they were in a hurry...😂
I played their voice on a small portable speaker and it made them them angry.
They came out of the pond and walked down the road. I was waiting for them, kneeling down to get a good angle. It was just a shame that the harsh Paraguayan sun was already too high. The window of time to get good photos is only in the morning and evening and is too short.

Nice, probably very difficult to photograph.

Normally, it would definitely be difficult. It would need take a cover and a long wait for chance. But I played their voices, and they ran like chickens in a backyard. I have a small, lightweight speaker and play the audio from my phone (eBird) via bluetooth.

Nature is beautiful
