User's notes
Two seen. First landed on an exposed tree trunk just in front of us, and the second foraging high in the canopy. Identification based off:
1. The large size of the gliders (~50 cm)
2. Known location, with many sightings on the ALA
3. Very bold, highly contrasting facial markings and pointed face and
4. Extremely large, bushy tail.
