AFRICAN CUCKOO, HWANGE NATIONAL PARK, ZIMBABWE

   Even though we can't see the front of this bird and it was taken at a distance, we can ID it as an African Cuckoo by its overall gray color, black tail where you can see some of the barring and a black bill where you csn just make out the yellow base.
   The African Cuckoo is a new species to our Photographic Life List,  which now stands at 449.
