Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Orlean, Virginia

High up in an old cherry tree along Leeds Manor Road. As soon as I snapped two photos, he/she vanished, but
I could hear several of these birds in the trees around this area.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

Great find and a very nice shot even if it has to be quickly done :))

What a treat it must have been to see and photograph. Nicely captured.

Terrific find and shot Don. Only last week I got my first Black-billed. I've yet to see a Yellow-billed.

I'd love to see one of these, Don. Nice shot.
