Smooth-billed Ani

Anis are in the cuckoo family. A lot of Smooth-billed Anis were near my cabin at the Napo Wildlife Center. I was able to get fairly close to them so that I could see the texture of their bills, which is an important field mark for separating them from another species called the Groove-billed Ani. I also could see the pattern of the feathers on this bird's throat.
