From 3 years ago today. This is unusual in my experience: a yellow billed cuckoo calling in the woods. A Carolina wren and a house wren are calling too but listen for the clicking and low cooing and near the end the clicking turning into another noise. It’s said that they call more before a storm and we got a storm a few hours later. (I wish we would get a storm now! It’s parched here.)

BOTD: Yellow-billed Cuckoo

"Sometimes common but usually hard to observe, the Yellow-billed Cuckoo inhabits dense leafy groves and thickets during the summer. Its stuttering, croaking calls, audible at a great distance, are often heard on hot, humid afternoons; people sometimes call this bird the 'rain crow,' imagining that it is calling for rain."

Cuckootober Day 5 - Yellow-billed cuckoo

This cuckoo builds its own nest and raises its own young, but will occasionally parasitize other birds' nests (including the nests of other yellow-billed cuckoos!)

If you heard a bird in nature the answer you should pick is 'No, but I have heard one' not 'Yes, [I saw one] in nature' don't count it as that if you didn't actually see it

More birds for Aptrill, I wanted to do all the prompts but I've decided once April is over I won't be posting anymore of the prompts. Hopefully I can do some more tomorrow, but if I can't it's okay. Going into this I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up but I wanted to do it for fun.

I was in a candy mood, so I got the snickers latte with my croissant.

There is a pond next to were I work, and it is common for us employees to take a walk around it during lunch.  I always see so many cool birds, and I’ve been itching to bring my nice camera there to get some good pictures.  The only time I’ve willingly come to work on the weekend, and it’s for some birds, lol.

I FINALLY GOT A GOOD PICTURE OF A BLUE HERON!!!

Also look at this little guy!  A robin!  And he caught himself some breakfast!!

The whole geese family!!

BABIES

MORE BABIES

I’VE BEEN DETECTED

Grackle!

Green Heron!  I’ve only ever seen the big blue guy, so it was excited to see this little green guy!

I was so excited when I got this picture, because I only see them when they’re flying!  It’s a barn swallow!  For a while, I couldn’t figure out what kind of swallow where flying around the ponds.  I thought they were probably barn swallows because of the red bellies and necks, so I’m super happy I got this picture to confirm my suspicions! 

I also saw some new birds at the arboretum, along with the usual suspects :)

A male and female wood duck:

I had no idea what this guy was until I got home to examine the pictures, but it’s a yellow-billed cuckoo!

A red-bellied woodpecker:

I crossed paths with another birder when I was walking, and he let me know that there was an owl in the area I was coming up to!  I was so happy I was able to spot him.  A barred owl:

I have been trying to get a picture of this little guy for a while.  An Acadian flycatcher:

PHOTOGRAPHER SPOTTED.  AGAIN.

Tree swallow!

a cute little white-breasted nuthatch!

A BEEEEEEEE:

I just really like this view:

Pretty flowers!

Lily pads!

More flowers!

I also have tomorrow off because of the holidays, so don’t be surprised if you see another post from me with more birds!
