I had heard several Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoos during the spring season in this side of the ravine, but this is the first cuckoo I've seen this year. It did not vocalize, but its tail had large white spots on black, and I saw rufous primaries and a mostly yellow bill. I couldn't see the orbital eyering color. Also seen: Warblers: Black-and White Magnolia Tennessee Chestnut-sided American Redstart Nashville 2 Empid Sp. Flycatchers Yellow-throated Vireo Cooper's Hawk (heard only) ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
