Early this morning, my recording station in Etna, NY was fortunate enough to have a Black-billed Cuckoo fly almost directly overhead while giving it's rattle or gurgle call. This is a fine example of this call type which is most typically heard during nocturnal migration throughout the spring and early summer within their normal range.
