[TN-Bird] Hamilton county - Black-billed Cuckoos

TN Birders:
This morning at Audubon Acres
we saw two Black-billed Cuckoos.
First they were flying across the
trail so that in addition to knowing it was a cuckoo there was no rufous 
coloring in the wings.  They went 
into and landed on a shrub/tree
where I was able to see well the
red eyes as well as the black bill on
one of them.  Not a FOY but there is 
always a thrill with sightings of
this cuckoo.

Earlier when we were looking/ listening for Swainson's Warbler I found a 
Red-eyed Vireo nest with "mom" on the nest.

We had a Mourning Dove nest with two young about twelve inches from the trail 
and slightly above eye level.

We had  (heard and saw) a 
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.  

Not as good as the
Greater Sandplover in FL
or the
Fan-tailed Warbler in NM
but ...

It was good to hear and see
the Willow Flycatcher 
last Tuesday (12th)
at the Standifer Gap Marsh 
in Hamilton county.
