An all-black bird with iridescent blue-tinged plumage, a distinctive large smooth curved black bill with a raised ridge, small dark eye, and a long broad tail, perched on top of a weathered wooden post.

Text on card: Found across the Caribbean, Central America, and South America from Florida and the West Indies south to northern Argentina, inhabiting open grassland, farmland, pastures, roadsides, and forest edges. A gregarious cuckoo that lives in communal groups, often following cattle to catch disturbed insects; groups share a single nest and cooperate to raise young.
