[cayugabirds-l] Black-billed cuckoo heard?

2013-03-28 Thread Marla Coppolino
I think I that I was hearing a black-billed cuckoo yesterday evening, in
the woods behind my property (Pleasant Valley Rd. in Groton).  Is that
possible? Would they be back in our area at this time?

According to the Average Spring Arrival Dates for Cay. L. Basin 2000-2009, 
that they gave us in the Spring ornithology course, Black Billed Cuckoos' date 
of arrival should be more around May 9 !

their data is from this list and in later years from eBird.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Black-billed cuckoo heard?

2013-03-28 Thread Kevin James McGowan
Black-billed Cuckoo spends the winter in South America (see the map at 
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/black-billed_cuckoo/id), and those 
long-distance migrants are amazingly strict in their migratory schedules, 
usually not making it back to New York until May.

I just tried making a few species maps in at http://ebird.org/ebird/map/, and 
it would appear that there are no records for Black-billed Cuckoo in the United 
States in March, ever.

Best,

Kevin

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Black-billed cuckoo heard?

2013-03-28 Thread Jody W Enck
Hi all,
In terms of what species it could have been -- wild turkey comes to my mind.  
They are making lots of vocalizations right now, including yelps and clucks 
that could definitely sound cuckoo-esque in a wooded environment.  I have no 
doubt there are other winter resident birds that might be making these 
confusing sounds.  I hope you hear it again!

2013-03-28 Thread Chris Pelkie
That's a good reminder of those confusing rodent sounds.

I heard an excellent Eastern Phoebe a couple days ago, but immediately said to 
myself, whoa there big fella. A few seconds later the NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD went 
into a different imitation. Can't say I've heard NOMO do a Black-billed Cuckoo 
though.
