Date : 9/13/2007 Time : 12:22:00 PM Ani is the common name for these species of tropical American birds that make up the genus Crotophaga in the cuckoo family, Cuculidae.
About 30 cm (12 in) in length, the slightly smaller groove-billed ani, C. sulcirostris, is resident from southern Texas to Argentina; the greater ani, C. major, is found from Panama southward.
Anis prefers farm country and feed on a wide variety of seeds, and a weak, flapping flight, and they habitually flip their loosely hinged tails in all directions.

 Ani (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anis are the three species of near-passerine birds in the genus Crotophaga of the cuckoo family.
They are essentially tropical New world birds, although the range of two species just reaches the U.S. Unlike some cuckoos, the anis are not brood parasites, but nest communally, the cup nest being built by several pairs between 2-6 m high in a tree.
The anis are large fl birds with a long tail and a deep ridged fl bill.

 LIFE HISTORY OF THE GROOVE-BILLED ANI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Anis resemble pigeons and doves in that the male brings building materials to the female while she sits on the nest arranging them, in the occasional reversal of the roles of the two sexes in nest construction, and in their occasional spurts of concentrated building while incubation is in progress.
The anis seem to be equipped with no aggressive or defensive displays which the pair first in possession might employ to repel their neighbors who trespass on the site of their choice, and the attraction of a superior site readily leads to building and laying in it by more than one pair.
The anis are lean and lank and loosely put together, and their long tails, which are almost invariably frayed and worn, seem so inadequately attached to their bodies that they are in danger of being brushed off as the birds push through the tall grasses and weeds where they forage.

Ani invited him back out during her set for some accompaniment and this is where I feel her songs filled out just as they do on the newest album also featuring Bird.
Ani has maintained a similar sound throughout the years, eluding the bona fide sadness of her lyrics with the weapon of the guitar, stylistically relying on the often times fast-tempo string percussion and the metrical lyrics to pound out her anger or almost as some sort of pseudo-upbeat self-reassurance.
But Bird's accompaniment bridged this for me and seems to have lulled Ani and her guitar into beautiful moments of meeting the nemesis with a little more melodic honesty.

In February 2006, news media reported that a domestic cat was found to have died of bird flu on the northern German island of Ruegen.

Ani DiFranco is most at home on stage, which helps to explain the immense success of her first live album, 1997's Living in Clip.
Ani has donated her fee from her April 8 concert in her hometown of Buffalo, NY to "the ABC Fund," a new entity established by RBR in conjunction with members of the local community intended to provide much-needed resources for Buffalo's imperiled public school system.
Ani is one of several people who contributed their thoughts to The Nation's recent feature, entitled "Take This Media, Please!" The piece (featured in the January 7, 2002 issue) compiles reactions to an ever-growing problem regarding the media: its concentration of power belongs to a small number of media conglomerates.

Nonetheless, that bird, like so many others here in Costa Rica, did have a pale rufous wash to the feathers that in the illustration in the field guide are shown immaculate white.
Seen laterally, the bird was very small and dark, with a pale buff stripe above the wings, on the back, and a noticeable pale buff superciliary that was long and quite wide.
When the bird is silent, not moving, and in one fixed position on a two-dimensional surface, without even a very definite size comparison available, we switch to a more intellectual, "left-brained" identification.
