Ecuador Amazon – Greater Ani
The Greater Ani is sometimes referred to as the Black Cuckoo. The Greater Ani is about 48 cm (19 in) long and weighs 170 g (6 oz). The adult is mainly blue-glossed black, with a long tail, massive ridged black bill, and a white iris.
I love the blue-glossed black! And I’ve never seen a cuckoo, although my husband swears he has. 😉
Laura, I love the contrast between the dark blue feathers and the white iris
Yes me too, Ravi. 🙂 It really is a beautiful shot. 🙂
Thanks Laura
