Observation details
2nd record for the park, I believe; found by Richard Edden; everything about this Cuckoo was very slender and long; in flight it looked almost skinny and the pattern was overall much plainer and darker-looking than YBCU; the tail pattern did not stand out and there was no rusty "flash" in the flight feathers; very shy--remained perched deep near the trunk of dense trees, but not inactive; frequently shot out of the tree it was in without warning in a smooth, quick flight and flew into a tree several dozen yards away; remained in the NW corner of the park, but visited nearly every dense tree within that corner; photo below
