Folks
A couple Yellow-billed are singing around the house these days, so all is
not lost. I also only had one Black-billed in migration on May 12 at dawn
at Allen's Fresh.
Leave out your bag worms.

I have not noticed a decrease in cuckoo abundance this year, but then again
I was not birding around MD very much in late May or early June this year,
except locally in southern PG and a little bit in Charles. On June 10 I
completed a BBS route (Breeding Bird Survey) for Pomfret (Charles County),
and had quite a few cuckoos (10, all YBCUs). Out of 50 stops, I had YBCU at
9 of them (stop #s 3, 14, 20, 28, 33, 35, 43, 44, and 48). All observations
were singing/calling individuals.
