Although coucals are related to cuckoos they are not brood parasites.
These mid sized birds are no easy subjects as they move around in bushes and thickets all the time. Early in the morning is the best time in my experience.

Not a particularly good photo, but it's the only one I have of this uncommon bird... an endemic of the Atlantic Forest.
It was the first time I saw this species. It only showed up once in a place where there wasn't that much light.

Das tägliche Ritual, Ihr kennt es alle, der/die Eine geht trällernd ins Bad, die/der Andere ist ein Morgenmuffel, der nicht gerne am Morgen angesprochen werden möchte. Die Lerche und die Nachtigall, ich gehöre in die zweite Kategorie.
Nachdem Frühstück mache ich mich für den Tag fertig, ein Blick in den Spiegel, er hat eine wichtige Rolle indem morgendlichen Ritual und los geht es. Das was Ihr auf meinem Foto seht, gehört dazu. Ohne Rouge auf meinen Lippen und eine leichte Korrektur meiner Augenbrauen gehe ich nicht aus dem Haus, einige kleine Spritzer Parfüm, e voila, fertig!. Nun kann der Tag beginnen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen erfolgreichen und sonnigen Tag, liebe Freunde.
The daily ritual, you all know it, one goes to the bathroom singing, the other is a morning grouch who does not want to be addressed in the morning. The lark and the nightingale, I belong in the second category.
After breakfast I get ready for the day, a look in the mirror, he has an important role by morning ritual and off it goes. What you see in my photo is part of it. Without blush on my lips and a slight correction of my eyebrows I do not leave the house, some small splashes of perfume, e voila, done! Now the day can begin.
Have a successful and sunny day, dear friends.
Le rituel quotidien, vous le savez tous, l'un va aux toilettes en chantant, l'autre est un grincheux du matin qui ne veut pas être abordé le matin. L'alouette et le rossignol, j'appartiens à la deuxième catégorie.
Après le petit déjeuner, je me prépare pour la journée, un regard dans le miroir, il a un rôle important par le rituel du matin et c'est parti. Ce que vous voyez sur ma photo en fait partie. Sans rougir sur mes lèvres et une légère correction de mes sourcils je ne sors pas de la maison, quelques petites éclaboussures de parfum, et voilà, c'est fait ! Maintenant, la journée peut commencer.

When I visited Yucatan (Mexico) on the visits to the "cenotes" and in Chichén Itzá we saw many birds of this species. I think I can say that it was one of the birds most often sighted.
At that time my only goal was to take a picture or two to register the species and so I didn't spent much time photograping birds. As the result I don't have good enough photos of this species and this one is not much better.
At the time we were told that they were known by the name "Pájaro Reloj" (Clock Bird) and indeed the periodic movement of the tail reminds us of a pendulum clock.
"The elders of the region tell that Thot (the Maya name for Pájaro Reloj) appears every time someone is about to die, is placed on the highest branch and moves his tail of two feathers in the form of a pendulum while his song, very similar to the ticking of a clock, it does not cease until a soul leaves the land of the living."

During the peak of the fish throw used to attract birds on the pelagic trip, among the hundreds of circling gulls, a uvenile (grey-billed, barely visible) and an adult black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) raced for the fish, showing that the quickest and most skillful get the prize.

The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) is one of the most widespread and abundant albatrosses, easily recognized by the dark “eyebrow” contrasting with its pale face and a strong yellow to orange bill.
Although large compared to most seabirds, it is among the smaller members of the albatross family, typically weighing 3–5 kilograms (7–11 pounds) with a wingspan ranging from 2.1 to 2.5 meters (7–8.2 feet). These seabirds are superb gliders, using dynamic soaring to harness the wind over ocean waves. This allows them to cover thousands of kilometers with minimal effort, often traveling for hours without flapping their wings.
They feed mainly on fish, squid, and crustaceans, and are also known to follow fishing vessels in search of discards. Highly long-lived, some individuals are recorded at over 70 years of age. They return to land only to breed, gathering in dense colonies on remote subantarctic islands. Pairs usually mate for life, engaging in elaborate courtship displays before raising a single chick per season.
