Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus)

These are not great images but at least I got a couple of shots of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo.  I’ve only seen this bird a couple of times before and was not able to get ANY shot at all.  These birds are shy and elusive making them easy to overlook.

I was sitting at a picnic table eating lunch and saw this guy land in the tree … nearly broke my neck getting back to the car to get the camera.  ha!
