The Rufous Coucal is a distinctive species of coucal found in the Philippines, notable for its predominantly rufous-brown plumage. This non-parasitic cuckoo is typically shy and often remains hidden in dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, particularly on Luzon and other larger islands, found in lowland and montane forests, dense secondary growth, and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, resonant hooting calls. Look for glimpses of its reddish-brown plumage as it moves stealthily through dense undergrowth. Patience and a quiet approach are crucial for a sighting.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but more easily heard or seen during the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its habitat.
