NOTES: (Bkground Sounds: Stellavox motor. Breeding Status: Breeding. Gen. Climate: Cyclic wet-dry. Gen. Habitat: Bushed wooded grassland. Cover Density: Sparse, medium, thick.) This sp. an intra-African "migrant" shows considerable movement. Many years it is not here at Ol Ari Nyiro, then it will appear. 1989 was a wet year and many caterpillars were available, a good food source which may account for this cuckoo being present. Other Behaviors: Advertise. Habitat: Evergreen Forest, Deciduous Forest, Thicket/Brush.
