"Long-tailed, fairly small cuckoo of tropical lowlands, rarely seen unless singing its loud and far-carrying song, usually from a fence or other low perch. Most of the time it is furtive, feeding on or near the ground in dense growth. Found in scrubby woodland and edge, overgrown weedy fields, and thickets, often with dense grasses. While singing it often raises and lowers its dark crest."

September 2, 2023 - Striped Cuckoo (Tapera naevia) These cuckoos are found in open areas with some trees and thickets from southern Mexico through Central and South America into northern Argentina. They feed mainly on insects, including grasshoppers, caterpillars, dragonflies, and beetles, foraging in trees and on the ground, swaying and spreading their small upper wing feathers before chasing down their prey. Females lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. The chicks kill their nestmates soon after hatching and are raised alone.
