Why it matters
The Black-eared Cuckoo (*Chalcites osculans*) is a secretive Australian migrant distinguished by its slender frame, long tail, and pointed wings that facilitate its long-distance travels. As a brood parasite, it is culturally and biologically significant for its complex relationship with host species, whose nests it utilizes to raise its young.
