Why it matters
The Dusky Long-tailed Cuckoo (Cercococcyx mechowi) is a secretive forest species found across Central Africa, notable for its distinct pointed wings and elongated, graduated tail. It is a prized subject for ornithologists and enthusiasts alike because its preference for dense, interior canopy habitats makes it remarkably difficult to observe in the wild.
