Cuckoos are skulkers. They often perch, motionless, for long periods of time without calling. But at the Rea Farm this morning we caught a Yellow-billed Cuckoo foraging through the canopy, perhaps looking for its favorite food, hairy caterpillars, and giving us good views. These long distance migrants will be pulling out in the next few weeks, heading toward their wintering grounds in South America. Listen for them overhead at night as they sometimes call during migration. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Karl Lukens, Michael McCabe, Warren Cairo, Hugh Simmons, and Deb Payson.
