My neighborhood 'rain crows' - both Black-billed and Yellow-billed
Cuckoos - have really been living up to their nickname! Along with
all the rain, hailstones have rattled the roof for several days
running. And they're likely to do it again today, if the Cuckoos are
to be believed. It's amazing to sit under shelter and think of all
the birds out in these storms, like the female Hooded Warbler sitting
tight on on her knee-high nest, which now contains 4 little eggs of
ivory wreathed in red, while all around her lightning flashes and the
ground is pelted by hailstones as big as hickory nuts!
