Yesterday, I spotted a Mangrove Cuckoo, or, Cuclillo de Manglar (Coccyzus minor) in the garden. It was the first time that I had seen this bird, although ornithologist Mary Noyes (of the UK) included it on her list of some 60 species, which she saw or heard during her 3 day visit to Los Charcos in mid February 2008. She was here with her husband (NHM entomologist) John. Unfortunately I was in hospital during their visit. We are working to make available on our official website a series of on-site species lists, hoping to start with the list of LCO birds.
