This morning I went out on my property to see what I could see.   Always 
hopeful of seeing a new yard bird I was looking for anything I had not  seen 
before in the yard.  I enjoy all of the visitors and spend quite a bit  of time 
just observing their behavior.  I was standing on the edge of the  woods and 
saw 
a large bird fly up on a branch.  I recognized it as a  Cuckoo.  I thought it 
was the yellow-billed cuckoo I had seen on several  occasions before on the 
property except it looked smaller.  I  continued to observe it as it moved from 
limb to limb among the thick  foliage.   I got a good bead on the bill and 
noted it was black not  yellow.  I then got on the eye and it was very red.  I 
knew I had a  black billed cuckoo at that point.  So, just like that I had a 
lifer, a  state bird and a yard bird.  Birding is go Great!!!
