Abstract
We recorded the songs of a Chestnut-winged Cuckoo Clamator coromandus at Hegura Island in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, on 20 May 2012. This is the first audio record and report of Chestnut-winged Cuckoo songs in Japan. The species was identified by comparing the sound spectrogram with the spectrograms of other confirmed Chestnut-winged Cuckoo recordings, and also by comparison with that of a similar species, the Moustached Hawk-cuckoo Hierococcyx vagans
