Squirrel Cuckoo

This bird can be found from upper Central America and throughout most of South America. The SC is described as difficult to see because it bounces around mid-level trees, which it does do; however, it is also surprisingly unbothered by enthusiastic birders. The first time I spotted one, I was hesitant to get close because I assumed I would scare it off, but a local told me to get closer even though I had to walk over very dry leaves and twigs. And it stayed put.
