About These Birds
Andaman Coucal
Andaman Coucal (Centropus andamanensis) — 42–47 cm. Chestnut back and wings; black head and underparts; long graduated tail. Endemic to the Andaman Islands, India, in forest and scrub. Non-parasitic. Omnivore. Previously treated as a subspecies of Greater Coucal.
Northern Hawk-Cuckoo
El cucúl de halcón del norte (Hierococcyx hyperythrus) mide 29-32 cm. Tiene partes superiores grises y un pecho naranja-rojizo que se desvanece gradualmente hacia las partes inferiores blancas con barras. Parásito de nido. Anida en el noreste de Asia y migra al sur de Asia e Indochina en invierno. Imita el aspecto del gavilán para asustar a las aves hospedadoras y acceder a sus nidos. Su llamada es inconfundiblemente distintiva.
