this afternoon I kayaked around the south end of the lake, from Stewart Park over to Hog Hole. shortly after putting in at Stewart Park, directly across from the Cascadilla Boat House, I heard what sounded for all the world like a Prothonotary Warbler singing. it wasn't singing much (admittedly,

There was a Black-billed Cuckoo singing (multiple triplets closely spaced) yesterday at 730am at the Lab. As I got out of the car in the staff lot, the sound was from either the trees between the drive and second lot (and bird facing away) or further over in the patch of trees on the other side

We are still hearing both and the YBCUs have been more vocal these last few days, the BBCU's more subdued but calling regularly. Perhaps yours are too busy dining on Gypsy Moth cats. We have heard very few YBs give the complete call as is common down south in our experience. John On Wed, Jun 9,

Just heard the repeated single calls of a yellow-billed cuckoo outside my home / office. Coupled with the BBCU from last month, that's both cuckoos as new yard birds for me this season! Again, once I got outside it stopped calling and could not be found. Is it just me, or have the black-billed
