The Cocos Cuckoo is an endemic species found exclusively on the remote Cocos Island, Costa Rica. It is a shy bird with a distinctive appearance and is known for building its own nest, unlike many other cuckoos.
Where to spot
Endemic to Cocos Island, Costa Rica, located in the Pacific Ocean. Inhabits the island's humid evergreen forests and dense scrub.
How to spot
This bird is found only on Cocos Island. Look for its dull plumage (brownish-grey upperparts, paler underparts) and relatively long tail. It can be elusive within dense vegetation. Listen for its unique, repetitive calls, often described as a series of 'wuk-wuk-wuk' notes.
When to spot
Active year-round on Cocos Island. Best observed during daylight hours, particularly in the morning.
