5 July 2017 proved to be interesting. The day began with our usual 6 AM bird walk. Dragonfly chasers are much more laid back than birders. Dragonflies don’t fly until much later in the morning. Erika quickly spotted a Squirrel Cuckoo foraging high in the trees above the river at the Villa Lapas Hotel.
Squirrel Cuckoos are common from Mexico south through most of tropical South America. Across this range, the species is highly variable, with 14 races described. Some of these populations are probably distinct species. These cuckoos are found in a variety of forest habitats, gliding from tree to tree.
