I’ve had one or two cuckoos around my place too!
I’ve certainly got enough of the black spongy moth worms for them to eat.

I first heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo on the 17th, but it had not made
the "kddow Kddow" call. Just single notes, and not very loud. Listening
to the calls of both Black-billed and Yellow-billed I determined it was
a Yellow-billed. The past couple days it has been calling and making
the full c
Just seen at 1 pm on fall creek rd just e of Freeville at cook rd. Big as life
but looked cold. Dropped wing showed the russet and the 30 mph zone let me have
a good look before pulling over. Dropped down in foraging move. Back up and
then I lost it. Pretty late I think.
Put in eBird.

A Yellow-billed Cuckoo was calling in my yard here in Brooktondale at about
6 am. I can still hear it, but from farther to the south.

A male yellow-billed cuckoo flew into the young trees near our veggie
garden yesterday. We watched for two solid minutes, just 15 feet away,
close enough to see it catch and eat two hairy caterpillars and then puff
out its throat while singing. When it flew to the other side of the garden,
we spott
There is a yellow billed cuckoo sitting in a small tree next to the dock.
Thanks to Tim Lenz for locating the bird.

Finally saw one of the yellow-billed cuckoos (pair) that have been
singing/calling in our Back Six acres on Hile School Rd, Freeville. And it had
a fledgling sitting near it, quietly looking like a very stubby yellow-billed
cuckoo.
I couldn't get pictures of the fledgling deep in the bushes,

Seeing Chris' report of one in Sapsucker woods, maybe this is of interest.
At 830 am today, there was one very vocal at the end of Sanctuary Dr, both in
the Salem Park woods at west dead end of Drive, and then moving over to the

At noon, I heard a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO do 3 series of 6-8 single coo’s from
the exclosure area just south of the covered shelter on Wilson.
I was close enough by the third series to ensure myself it wasn’t a squirrel,
though the pacing and separation of series had already indicated that.

A Yellow-billed Cuckoo called a few times near our yard in
Brooktondale this afternoon!

Again this morning there's a bird around my place in West Danby giving slow
hollow calls "Kowp... ...Kowp... ...Kowp...". Patricia asked me which cuckoo it
was, and I said I would call it Yellow-billed. Having declared, I had to make
an effort to confirm. This time I was able to get very nice vi
I was in Rochester yesterday, but back at home this morning, and still have a

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 mate.
Hi all,
Today at 0.45 am I was looking for moths when I heard a calling Yellow-billed
cuckoo flyover. Today morning by 4.45 am my yard was very noisy or rather
musical with 10 different species calling. Robin was the main singer. There
were Carolina wren, male and female cardinals, House wrens
I heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo singing east of me on Eastern Heights Drive
about 5 minutes ago. First time for that yard bird.

I birded around home and then walked the off-the-rail-trail-trails below
Juniper Drive on South Hill this morning from about 5:30 to 9:00 AM. The
highlight was a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO I spotted at about 7:30. About an hour
later on my way back I was about 200 meters from where I saw the cuckoo
