Groove-billed ani

The field trip group I was in at the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival was so excited to find a groove-billed ani near Harlingen, TX - a lifer for me and most others in the group!

Groove-billed Ani from February in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I wish I were going back! #bird #birdphotography #groovebilledani

Из интересного - 4-5 пар строят общее гнездо, откладывают туда яйца и совместно растят птенцов. А еще у них зигодактильное расположение пальцев(zygodactylous) - два смотрят вперед, а два - назад.

Бороздчатоклювый ани/groove-billed ani/Crotophaga sulcirostris из семейства кукушковых неспроста так называется - клюв действительно необычный.

A Groove-billed Ani is perched on a naked branch facing away from the camera with its head turned to the left. It is all black with a lighter, shiny, deeply grooved bill.
