Awesome! I seriously want to go see this guy. I can't believe how long he's been there.

Are there two cuckoos in the photo? It looks like a second tail to the right with smaller white spots. I saw a Black-billed was reported...

Yes, a group of us staked out for 9+ hours on Saturday and I was the only one who saw the Kirtland’s (incredibly awful, brief, naked eye looks). We did find the Black-billed Cuckoo and I had great looks at him, but not photographs. So yes, I saw the Black-billed, but he’s not in the Yellow-billed photos. Obviously the Kirtland’s was far more obliging this morning.

I thought I'd got a good shot of a Kingfisher last week, a bird that I've always had trouble getting good photos of.  As luck would have it, I got what I think is a much better shot a few days ago...
