Mangrove Cuckoo

I finally got a pic of the mangrove Cuckoo. I've heard them many times, but they would show themselves. There are two showing up at Ding Darling Wildlife Drive on Sanibel Island, Fl. At first it was in the thick mangrove, I could only see it with binoculars, but I hung around after all the birders left and was able to get the shot.

Neat capture with some good details of this bird. I like the two tone beak.

Really nice image of this fairly rare bird.

Wow! Congrats Chuck! Being patient and getting an elusive photo is always such a great reward. I sure like the look of this too.
