I hiked the Sheltowee trace for 5 days (1st to 5th June), hiked all the
Tennessee part of it, and the YBC was a constant sound all the 5 days, with
1 or 2 birds per day, at some point with more than one bird at the same
spot singing. I don't know if that's common or not. Normally I go birding
around Lexington, and its uncommon to ear an YBC. It might be common at
such remote places.

Same here on the Carolina wrens in northern Franklin Co and elsewhere. I
had just one yellow-billed cuckoo on my BBS in Washington Co. Not unusual.

Yes, this year I have been hearing/seeing above normal yellow-billed
cuckoos on birding routes in Harrison-Crawford SF and O'Bannon Woods SP in
Indiana. However, I'm not hearing many carolina wrens?

Has anyone noticed an unusually large number of Yellow-billed cuckoos
this year. We just completed our PIF survey and had cuckoos (several of
the sites had multiples) at 10 of 12 sites. Typically we hear them on 1 or
2 sites. This morning I had 4 calling in one spot and multiples at the
front gate.
