Best migration to date here:
Black-billed Cuckoo - 4/25/06 - Heard this bird and said, "cuckoo" - but
wait, not YB! Anyway it obliged for pics. Definitely the absolute best
study I have ever had of this species! I loved the way it puffs out its
chest like a pigeon when it cooed/sang. I watched for 15 minutes and it was
still in the yard vocalizing when I left for work. Go to:
www.birdingva.com and click on Galleries on the left - then select BBCU from
the 2006 list. Hold over each thumbnail pic for a larger version. Yard
