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.
