Channel-billed Cuckoo in Queensland Rainforest
We climbed a small mountain in Clump Mountain NP hear where we were staying, and as we sweated up the trail, I stopped near the summit and looked up and there in a clearing in the trees were a few of these. I had never heard of them and struggled initially to identify them, but they are interesting if often overlooked birds.

The channel-billed cuckoo is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is monotypic within the genus "Scythrops". The species is the largest brood parasite in the world, and the largest cuckoo.
