Hi all --

For the second time in 10 days, we have had a Black-billed Cuckoo calling
and flying about our yard and nearby yards in Colesville.  This time we
actually saw (rather than just heard) him!

We've also had the occasional YB Cuckoo calling but they are probably
breeding in nearby woods where we've heard them most years. Not sure if the
BB repeat is the same bird or not but are keeping our ears open!

The last time we had a cicada invasion I recall there were some BB Cuckoos
breeding at odd localities.
