Observation details

Found today by Suzanne Kho. Thanks to Dennis for showing Jeff the bird. We later relocated the Ani nearby (unexpectedly at fairly close range). It was perched in a tree at the Gibson Street trailhead. Black cuckoo with long tail and prominent curved grooved bill—each distinctive feature clearly seen as the bird remained perched for several minutes. Photo to follow.
