I was at Owen Park a week ago and while walking around the second pond I
spotted this cuckoo. It was in a willow tree along the bank of the pond on the
river side. I believe it had found a bag worm nest, though I did not see it,
but one photo shows a caterpillar in its bill. It found two or three more
during the time I watched it, as well as providing some other nice poses. This
bird is not that common and always a pleasure to find.
