I agree wholeheartedly, Paul, and was just about to say that we obviously
are interpreting the information differently and should just agree to
disagree. I did think, though, that the interests of the listserv as a
whole would be served hearing that there is more than one point of view on
the subject. I apologize if I was wrong. I did try to keep the discussion
scientific and civil, though.

As you can see from these quotes, Bent agrees with Sibley that oftentimes
when the cuckoo lays eggs in another bird's nest, both birds incubate the
eggs,
rather than the cuckoo just dumping its eggs.
First of all, it is Sibley that agrees with Bent. Second of all, believe
what
ever you like. I tried to point out to you something to be on the lookout
for. If you don't want to, then don't. There are hundreds of examples of
Yellow-billed Cuckoos doing something that is called, by ornithologists,
nest
parasitism. I have seen it myself. Keep watching birds and you might, too.
