I do hope you will join us in tracking this beautiful bird!

PS. My apologies to the list for posting off-topic; but perhaps the
connection can be made like this: Pied Cuckoo announces the monsoon,
monsoon is the growing season for many plants, hence the Pied Cuckoo
is somewhat relevant to efloraofindia.
