A new yard bird and a Lifer all in one

Black-billed Cuckoo

Not a really good photo, but this fellow seems to have an aversion to being seen. I'm happy he stopped at the top of this tree as long as he did.

Yay, New Bird Happy Dance. They make such an unusual sound, don't they. I haven't actually seen a BB Cuckoo this year, but I've heard several in various places I've been camping. Apparently these birds are good to have around if there is an infestation of tent caterpillars as that is a prime food source.
