Black-eared Cuckoo
Chalcites osculans
-17.4342, 123.723
Field Notes
Description:
This beautiful, curious little bird has white eyebrows and a wide, black eye-stripe. The crown seems to be gray extending over the back and wings. The chin, throat chest and body are a creamy kind of colour. There appears to be wide, horizontal, dark gray stripes on the under-tail feathers and the outer-tail feathers are plain dark gray.
At first glance I thought this was a young Grey-crowned Babbler. However, I've only ever seen them hanging out in a flock of 6 or more and this little one was alone - so I'm completely unsure what it is.
Habitat:
Found in this tree along the edge of the Mankajarra Wetlands
