Centropus superciliosus
This bird, a species of cuckoo, can be difficult to see and photograph due to its habit of skulking in shubbery, undergrowth and dense waterside vegetation. It has a wide diet consisting mostly of insects, but it will also take young birds and eggs. The males construct a nest, they then incubate the eggs and provide most of the feeding and care for the young.
Seen at Nairobi National Park
The bird in the last photo may be the same one but I can't be sure as it was so far away. Also see: http://ibc.lynxeds.com/species/white-bro...
Thank you for the ID, Isabella! I had looked at that website but didn't know which group to look at first.
Thanks for catching that, Ava! I hadn't noticed and can understand why you were mystified! It was really a stunning bird and I hope to find an ID.
Maria dB, I was mystified by this bird because your map said North Carolina. I've changed the map for you. I can't wait to find out what this beautiful bird is.
