Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Silver Sands 5 Nov 11



A late season Yellow-billed Cuckoo at Silver Sands State Park on 5 Nov 11 showed up around 3:45 PM on a brisk, sunny afternoon. A few record shots above. As I left a male N Harrier was coursing over the area where the cuckoo was foraging. (Yesterday, at about the same hour, a splendid juvenile Golden Eagle drifted through Silver Sands--the third time in the last 8 years we've seen a juv Golden Eagle in Silver Sands during the 1st week of November.)
