YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO
Coccyzus americanus
Oct. 15, 2006
| Description | : | What a find! High winds and iffy light were making for a fairly bleak outing at one of our local patches. Not optimum weather for birding, let alone photography. As we were nearing the end of our walk, a hiker flushed a bird from some brush. At first, we thoought it an Eastern Kingbird ... then we saw it through the camera. It was a Yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus), one of the more secretive of our visitors. Our first sighting of this bird made up for the dismal weather.
