I've been going to High Island TX for a few years now in the spring to catch a glimpse of the spectacular migratory birds there, but the cuckoos always elude me! This year I was bent on seeing a cuckoo. I got super lucky and saw 2 yellow billed cuckoos AND a black billed! Didn't get any photos of the black billed, but managed to get a few of the yellow billed before it flew off. YAY!!!

My father called them Rain Crows. We would hear the distinctive calls before a rain in the summer in South Alabama. I hear them here in Georgia but they are very hard to spot.

Before we could call ourselves "birders", we found one dead in our yard in 2009. It was not in an area that it looked like it could have been a window strike, but what else c\would it have been? :( We did not know to appreciate how rare it was in our area. One of the children thought he saw another in a tree, but they were never seen here again. We saw one earlier this summer, but in the boonies near Des Moines.
They are a cool bird and maybe someday we'll have another in our yard.
