    Abstract:

    Brood parasitism on Japanese White-eye (Zosterops japonicus), Yellow-throated Bunting (Ermberiza elegans) and Buff-throated Warbler (Phylloscopus subaffinis) by Himalayan Cuckoo (Cuculus saturatus) were recorded in Kuankuoshui National Nature Reserve, Guizhou, southwestern China, during the 2012-2013 breeding season. And Buff-throated Warbler and Japanese White-eye were the first record of parasitism by Himalayan Cuckoo. Spectrophotometer analysis showed that there was much difference in egg reflectance of spot and background of Himalaya Cuckoo using different host species.
