Why it matters
The Black Cuckoo (*Cuculus clamosus*) is a brood parasite native to sub-Saharan Africa, recognized by its long tail and pointed wings that facilitate its swift, agile flight. It is particularly valued by birders for its distinct, repetitive call and its elusive behavior within dense woodland habitats.
