Observation details
LIFER! How can such a huge gray bird with a long tail disappear so quickly?! It was fascinating to watch it press its way through the thick branches of a dense red-fruited tree. I was watching flying foxes land in the same tree as these clumsy big birds competed with fig birds for the fruit. Seen near the café under the huge Banyan fig tree. I also recorded the sound, which makes you think that a velociraptor is coming in to pick you up. They are very intentional birds, slowly looking around pointing their huge bill. I was very excited to see this bird!
