Yellow-billed (Coccyzus americanus)

This one was easy to ID, even though I'd never seen one before. I tried looking it up by the logical name - Yellow-billed Cuckoo - and bingo! Not all birds are called such logical, descriptive names, but it's often a good starting point for an ID search anyway ;) When I double-checked with the ranger later, he said I was lucky to see this one, as most had already migrated southwards by then.
