Squirrel Cuckoo

Piaya cayana

Description:

This one has a green beak! I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen it even though it's actually very common in my country. We call it alma-de-gato (cat soul) in Portuguese because of its call: http://cantosdepassarosdownload.blogspot...
