There was a Black-billed Cuckoo singing (multiple triplets closely spaced) yesterday at 730am at the Lab. As I got out of the car in the staff lot, the sound was from either the trees between the drive and second lot (and bird facing away) or further over in the patch of trees on the other side of the road by second lot, I couldn’t be sure of range. It was distinct but not super loud.
Had both from home this year, with the gurgle-intro leading into single-note songs from YBCU both of the last couple evenings just outside our sunroom.

Coupled with the BBCU from last month, that's both cuckoos as new yard birds for me this season! Again, once I got outside it stopped calling and could not be found. Is it just me, or have the black-billed cuckoos, who seemed to be singing everywhere earlier in the season, been replaced by yellow-billed cuckoos lately? We had looks and calls from yellow-billed cuckoos on our Connecticut Hill field trip last Sunday. I also heard then saw one that afternoon at Lindsay-Parsons Suan -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
