Dominican Republic

The Smooth-billed Ani is a large passerine bird in The Cuckoo family. It can be found in South Florida, the Bahamas, The Caribbean and parts of South America. I first saw an Ani in Costa Rica in 2009. The one in Costa Rica was a Groove-billed Ani (See http://www.pbase.com/hankvv/image/109916638).

Great capture of a most unique looking bird. From the head it makes me think of scientific theories of birds being related to dinosaurs. Voted
