Yellow-billed Cuckoo
This secretive but spectacular species breeds in much of Texas where it continues to decline. This one was probably a migrant from wintering grounds in South America. They specialize in hairy caterpillars that are shunned by most other birds. Unlike their European cousins, this species is not a...- jmorlan

Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) This will be my last post for a week or so. I will be on line tonight to look at pictures and make comments. My wife and I are going to West Texas to Alpine and Fort Davis. Two areas we lived in for a few years, 40 plus years ago.- Stanley Jones

Mystery Bird
This bird was flying around the top of a tree and perching. It had rectangular, thin-looking wings and they were reddish underneath. It's call was like a Mourning Dove's, but raspy and went up and down. What in the world is it?!??!?!?!?- Ivory-Billed-Woodpecker

Yellow-billed cuckoo in the shade
Not an uncommon bird in eastern U.S., but not easy to find or photograph. They love to stay in the shadows, in dark forested areas, and often sit quite still. I hear them more often than I see them - but this one fortunately picked a shady perch that I was still able to photograph - though not...- Zackiedawg

Cuckoo for Caterpillar
rather than Cocoa Puffs as in a commercial that ran endlessly when I was young. I'm not that great at identification by ear, but I heard this one making a lot of noise before I saw it.- Quisque

Yellow-billed
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...- Doc Duck

Today's best lifer
was this Yellow-billed Cuckoo, which I found and identified on my own on a solo walk around Sabal Palm Sanctuary. The sanctuary is accessed through a narrow gap in the border fence that runs along the levee above the Rio Grande. I don't know why they bothered to put up fencing along that...- Doc Duck

Yellow-billed Cuckoo
I don't see these in my yard that often but our neighborhood is fairly wooded so we get occasional visits from birds that like forested areas. There were two of these and they were calling. If you've never heard the Yellow-billed Cuckoo calling, you should google a sound clip, very odd call. A...- Newton-W

Yellow-billed Cuckoo
The Yellow-billed Cuckoo is pretty rare in my area, although if you go to parks that are not frequently visited, you may be able to see them, or hear them calling. As it turned out, I was killing some time waiting on the wife to get ready for a short trip we were taking that morning, and there...- Newton-W

One of my first Yellow-billed Cuckoos (lifer #470), seen at the South Fork Wildlife Area in Weldon, California, in the Kern River Valley. (Look for the white belly in the center of the photo.) Having never seen this species before, I tagged along with biologists from the Southern Sierra Research...- avesjohn
