Yes, Yellow-billed is what I usually hear there at Salmon Creek. I don't
think I've had Black-Billed there before. I forgot to say- I saw the
Black-Billed on Sunday morning. Geo's post reminded me I hadn't reported
this.

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.

Following up on Geo's YB Cuckoo post, I watched a pair of
Black-Billed Cuckoos in the Salmon Creek sanctuary on Salmon Creek
Rd. The best encounter with Cuckoos I've probably ever had, lots of
cavorting and vocalizing right overhead along the road, maybe two
hundred yards past Brooks Hill Rd. Nice to get such good looks at
such handsome birds!
