[va-bird] Parasitism in Yellow-billed Cuckoos

A paragraph on the mating system of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo in a  
species account at the California Partners in Flight Riparian Bird  
Conservation Plan web site   
http://www.prbo.org/calpif/htmldocs/species/riparian/yellow- 
billed_cuckoo.htm  says:
> In one case, post-hatching parasitism has been observed when a live  
> chick was dumped into another cuckoo pairs nest and was successfully  
> raised by the adoptive parents (Laymon et al. 1997).
