Why it matters
The Northern Hawk-Cuckoo is named for its striking resemblance to the sparrowhawk, a form of mimicry that likely helps it approach the nests of its host species undetected. Characterized by its pointed wings and long, barred tail, this elusive bird is prized by enthusiasts for its migratory behavior and the distinctive, repetitive call that signals its presence in the forests of East Asia.
