Interesting...just this morning, Livia and I had a calling (kow...kow...) then nicely seen YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO in the Salmon Creek Sanctuary right about where John described. Last evening around 5:00, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was giving a k'k'k'k'k,kowp song on the Wilson Trail just north of the building here at Sapsucker Woods, and then Matt Medler and I had two Yellow-billed Cuckoos foraging over the feeders along the pond edge a few minutes later. Apart from these, I have heard no other cuckoos in the daytime so far this spring. I did have an excellent night flight last week though, with 39 Black-billed and 13 Yellow-billed Cuckoos vocalizing overhead over the course of a couple of hours.
