I've found mangrove cuckoo to be rather a skulker and I know from the last time I featured one of these that others agree.....so I thought I'd grip you all off with these shots!
I spotted this guy last week as I was driving and he was rather cooperative at least briefly.
This was just one of the wildlife highlights of last week!

Your Cuckoo is a very nice highlight. Sometimes I stop by your blog and noticed your great sighting.
I think all cuckoos are skulkers. The two species known around these parts (yellow-billed and black-billed) spend all their time lurking about in shadows and dense foliage. Makes for a great photography challenge, though.
Your images are marvelous! I've rarely seen the mangrove cuckoo and have never photographed one--so I'm dancing in vicarious celebration of your great pictures. What a good turn of luck to have one be so cooperative.
I'm waiting for the Mangrove cuckoo to arrive here in the Lower Florida Keys this fall. It is my mission this year to get a pic. Stop by my blog to get a bit Keys style gardening. Glad I found another island gardener/ nature chaser.
