The
smooth-billed ani (
Crotophaga ani) is a bird in the
cuckoo family. It is a resident breeding species from southern Florida, the Caribbean, parts of Central America, south to western Ecuador, Brazil, northern Argentina and southern Chile. The smooth-billed ani is a mid-sized species, larger on average than the
groove-billed ani but smaller than the
greater ani. It measures approximately 35 centimetres (14 inches) in overall length. Males weigh around 115 grams (4.1 ounces), while females are lighter at around 95 grams (3.4 ounces). Adults are mainly glossy black, with a long tail, deep ridged black bill and a brown iris. This smooth-billed ani was photographed in
George Town, on the island of
Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

I participate in the Political Spectrum article from time to time, mostly in the Alternate Spectra section.
I also participate in articles about Libertarianism when I can.
Having been a fan for years, I try to add what I can to the Comics pages. I was the one who first inserted the idea in The Joker that his insanity might be a Super Power.
