The first few hours of the morning have been good lately, I had a Wilson’s Warbler for two days, and this morning I finally added Yellow-throated Vireo for the year. Unfortunately it was too quick for me to get a photo.
But I did get a photo of a Black-billed Cuckoo!
Bill-less Black-billed Cuckoo! Stupid leaf! At least you can see the gray undertail.
OK, the photo is terrible. The stupid leaf blocked the view of the bill, and its not a great shot anyway. But it could be worse! Here’s the shot from the burst just before this one–
Headless and tail-less Black-billed Cuckoo.
Can’t make out heads or tails on this cuckoo–literally! But once again, could be worse. Here’s the first shot I “got”–can’t even find the bird in the foliage!
Can you see the Black-billed Cuckoo in the foliage? Me neither!
Just to round out the post, here’s the shot I “got” of the Yellow-throated Vireo. Let me know if you can see it, because I can’t!
Almost back into the eBird Yard list top 20 for 2015. More birds to see!
