Hodgson’s Hawk-Cuckoo

9th March 2012, Ayer Itam Dalam, Pulau Pinang

Local Name:

Scientific Name: Cuculus fugax

It was my second sighting of the  migrant Hodgson’s Hawk Cuckoo and this one appears to be a juvenile.

The narrow  dark penultimate  tail bar can be clearly seen, the feature which differentiates her from the Malaysian Hawk Cuckoo
