Thank you very much I normally don't frame many but it sort of gives it more of a finished look. Did you check out those tail feathers?

Excellent shots.

Excellent shots.

Thank you Sindri

I always enjoy your comments.

They have a Mangrove Cuckoo here in Florida that looks very similar, but they are rare and I've never seen one.

Thanks Sam

Hope you get one.

Great shot. I have got to move to Alabama.

Gary, congrats on the shots. Beautiful bird.

Often heard, rarely seen! Great pictures. In much of the south, this bird is called a "rain crow", as its call is thought to be more frequent just before it rains.
