2014-06-04 Thread Geo Kloppel
I was beginning to wonder if any Cuckoos would be breeding in my neighborhood this year. But yesterday morning a (presumed male) Yellow-billed Cuckoo was in the old orchard as usual, giving his slow series of 7 to 9 soft hollow coos. He was very persistent about it, as if advertising for a

Following up on Geo's YB Cuckoo post, I watched a pair of Black-Billed Cuckoos in the Salmon Creek sanctuary on Salmon Creek Rd. The best encounter with Cuckoos I've probably ever had, lots of cavorting and vocalizing right overhead along the road, maybe two hundred yards past Brooks Hill Rd.

Yes, Yellow-billed is what I usually hear there at Salmon Creek. I don't think I've had Black-Billed there before. I forgot to say- I saw the Black-Billed on Sunday morning. Geo's post reminded me I hadn't reported this. --John On 6/4/2014 10:22 AM, Jay McGowan wrote: Interesting...just
