Greater Roadrunner
I have posted two members of the Cuculidae family tonight, this roady and a Black-billed Cuckoo, posted to the right. The Cuckoo family also includes the European cuckoo, koels, malkohas, couas, coucals and anis.
My two posts are quite different in appearance but both have long tails and sturdy curved bills. The wings also look somewhat similar in certain poses. Behaviorally, both could be described as "quirky" and "entertaining."
