Crow pheasant, though has the name 'crow' as part of its name, actually belongs to cuckoo family. Like the male cuckoo this bird also has red eyes and makes a quick calling sound like the cuckoo but the voice of this bird is deep.
It makes a deep resonant call. My recordings don't have its call hence I googled to share the same with you. Just click the link and clik the play audio.

In the busy traffic at our place, recording a clear voice is not possible as the horn sound of vehicles will make the voice of the bird fade. But I am longing to make one to put it in my collection.
I first heard it at my aunt's place which was then a villlage. But could not catch a glimpse of it in the thick tall trees.
Recently I started hearing the familiar call in our place but could spot it only few times. Once I saw it crossing the road (like a road runner). Many a times it comes out during the peak morning hours. But when the rains started I could see it quite often.
Captured few shots of the 'crow pheasant' (Chembothu / कौवा तीतर) when it came in the open. A crow had built its nest in a tree and this crow pheasant visited the tree like usual and the crows started chasing it. Then it took refuge in a nearby tree where I could get a good glimpse of it.
I tried to capture the picture to my level best quickly with my humble camera.

What a beautiful coat of colours it has! I admire God's creation each and every time I peek into my surroundings. Thanking God for bring these feast to eyes to my window.
