Pedroza, Diego, Melo, Tomaz Nascimento de, Machado, Tatiana Lemos da Silva, Guimarães, David Pedroza, Lima, Jônatas M. & Guilherme, Edson, 2020, Birds of Humaitá Forest Reserve, Acre, Brazil: an important forest fragment in south-west Amazonia, Bulletin of the British Ornithologists’ Club 140 (1), pp. 58-79 : 61-62

ASH-COLOURED CUCKOO Micrococcyx cinereus

Austral migrant. Guilherme (2009) first reported the species in HFR. A female, collected on 20 July 2007, is deposited in Belém ( MPEG 63485 ). The date of this record corresponds to the coldest part of the austral winter in southern Brazil, where the species breeds ( Payne 2019a). YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO Coccyzus americanus

Nearctic migrant. One observed by DPG foraging for insects in the canopy on 30 October 2017 (WA3515980; Fig. 2B ). Breeds in North and Middle America, and migrates to South America in the boreal winter ( Payne 2019b). The date of this record indicates that C. americanus arrives in the region shortly before the start of the boreal winter. Only the third record in Acre ( GBIF 2019, Wikiaves 2019).
