Hi All,
I logged 43 species in the yard today with the highlight of the day being a 
Black-billed Cuckoo perching in the Black Walnut tree in the backyard. That is 
a species we don't get here often.  Another very interesting species, also in 
the backyard, was a Philadelphia Vireo.
A photo of the Cuckoo is located at http://www.pbase.com/mayhorn/image/117320299
