Summer birds heard but not often seen!

Yellow-billed Cuckoo are caterpillar specialists and can eat over 100 tent caterpillars while ripping the nest apart. Their songs and calls can be heard at long distances but they sit still for long periods making them hard to find. When they do fly, this nearly 12” bird is easy to ID with its long, spotted tail.
