Résumé
The bay-breasted cuckoo (Coccyzus rufigularis) is an Endangered species of bird in the tribe Phaenicophaeini, subfamily Cuculinae of the cuckoo family Cuculidae. It is endemic to the Dominican Republic on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola; it is possibly extirpated in Haiti.
The bay-breasted cuckoo was at one time placed in the genus Piaya which was later merged into Hyetornis. That genus was then merged into the current Coccyzus. The species is monotypic.
It is locally known as "cúa" in Spanish and "tako kabrit" in Haitian Creole.
The bay-breasted cuckoo is long, about half of which is the tail. One male specimen weighed . The species' bill is stout and decurved, with a black maxilla and a yellow mandible. Males and females have the same plumage. Adults have gray upperparts with chestnut on the wing's primaries, a gray face, a dark chestnut chin and breast, a pale rufous belly, and gray undertail coverts. Their tail is black with large white tips. Juveniles apparently differ from adults only in having narrower tail feathers.
The bay-breasted cuckoo historically ranged widely in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. As of 2020, it had possibly been extirpated from mainland Haiti and definitely from Gonâve Island, and was known to nest in only two areas of the Dominican Republic. One is on the northern slope of Sierra de Bahoruco in Independencia Province where it is present in two protected areas. The other is in Nalga de Maco National Park on the lower southern slope of the Cordillera Central. Local reports, sight records, and photographs from other sites since 2005 hint that the species is present outside those two areas, and "it is likely that small breeding populations remain at these sites."
The bay-breasted cuckoo inhabits lowlands and foothills up to at least . It is found in several forest types, but mostly in the narrow transition zone between dry and moist areas.
The bay-breasted cuckoo is not migratory.
The bay-breasted cuckoo has a varied diet that includes adult insects, caterpillars, grubs, lizards, and mice.
