    It was a very cloudy morning, saw very few birds that day, but luckily at least this fellow came to say hello.

    Was taking a photo of this Guira Cuckoo when a couple of Peach-fronted Parakeet showed up at the tree. This one was friends with the cuckoo I guess, as it quickly went next to it lol.

    Another of the Saturday Fun Bird

    Another Guira cuckoo shot. You gotta love that hairdo :D Oh, and I believe the Guira cuckoo isn't a parasitic nester, like most cuckoos. It's more of a wanton nester.
