Observation details
Paddled back in the mangrove tunnel and while stopped to try and get a good look at a green heron, the mangrove cuckoo landed in a tree above my head. I saw the dark curved bill, dark face mask and long striped tail; it sang the long, distinctive call then flew off while I fumbled for my camera, I was so startled! I did capture the tail end of the call on recording. I heard the long call again about 10-15 min later deeper in the trees. Very cool! Coordinates: 25°28`05" N, 80°20`29"W
