Saw a Jacobin's Cuckoo on the H1-4 on a cold windy day right next to the road. I'll try to find my pic of it...

Hi Paul

Great shot. Your bird has a lot of character. Saw my first ones on the Mahonie Loop years ago.

Saw this Jacobin Cuckoo in the Kruger last year November.

Did You Know? :hmz:
According to Indian mythology it has a beak atop its head and it thirsts for the rains.
