The Groove-billed Ani is an odd-looking member of the Cuckoo family. The good news is that these are extremely vocal birds, so you will know when they are around — which they will be. The bad news is that they are all skulkers, so you may have trouble seeing them. They are residents, but not common ones.

The family Picathartidae consists of two very unusual birds; White-necked or Yellow-headed Picathartes , endemic to the Upper Guinea forests of West Africa; and Gray-necked or Red-headed , restricted to Lower Guinea forests of Central Africa. However this classification is no longer widely accepted, and in my opinion quite correctly so.
