Hello,

At Greenbury Point this morning while looking at a singing Indigo Bunting 100 yards away,  I saw a foraging yellow-billed cuckoo.  It was the second I had seen there this morning.  Both were foraging silently.   I saw it rise from the tree with a captured catepiller, fly directly over me, rise another thirty feet , and continue in a straight line over the pine forest near the Nature Center.  

From my line graph chart, it appears that we are past the safe dates for breeding Yellow-billed Cuckoo.  Is there another chart, much like the list of priority hands in poker (e.g. full house over flush) that one might use in the probable category?  Certainly, any confirmed status trumps 'safe dates'.  What about examples of probable status?  Do they trump 'safe dates' as well?

Bill
