A Smooth-billed Ani on the wharf of Sacha Lodge in eastern Ecuador. The Garrapatero Piquiliso is a widespread species in the Neotropics from Florida to Uruguay.
Groove-billed Anis (Crotophaga sulcirostris) (which are Cuckoo relatives) are common residents of fields and clearings -they like to hang out around marshes, too, which is where I recorded these. Cattle are their best friends, as they like to eat the insects the cattle stir up. They always want to announce their arrival by calling their "Tijo, Tijo" call. (Costa Rica)
