Following our views of Rosita's Bunting the sun was getting pretty high and the temperature climbing. But that didn't stop a Lesser Ground-Cuckoo from starting to call from deep in the brush. This was a unique bird, picture a half sized roadrunner dressed for a carnival. That being said, it had no intention of going out, being very content to stay deep in the sticky thicket.
How would you give directions for the 1 inch cylinder of visibility for others to see this thing? You can sort of see the blue and yellow bare skin surrounding the eye.
It was one of the coolest birds of the trip. This Roadside Hawk was potentially interested in seeing it as well...
though its motivation may have been a little different.
The Orange-fronted Parakeets on the other hand, they didn't give a rip!
