About These Birds

Sulawesi Cuckoo

Sulawesi Cuckoo (Cuculus crassirostris) — 30–34 cm. Dark grey above; pale below with bold brown-grey barring; heavier bill than most Cuculus. Endemic to Sulawesi in montane forest. Brood parasite. Insectivore. Poorly known.

Northern Hawk-Cuckoo

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.
