Before I was born, it used to be a rare breeding species in mountainous areas south of Belgrade, but became extinct after the 1960s due to intensive poisoning of wolves.

Horned Screamer Michael McDonald is a lot like Wile E Coyote and would like to see a Rufous-vented Ground-cuckoo ! Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! My most-desired Brazilian bird?

And indeed, the Tel Aviv McDonald’s does not sell any Hoopoe Burgers. According to one paper , the Spotted Redshank is the German among the waders, at least in Finland: its arrival and departure on the breeding grounds are the most predictable.
