Yellow-billed Cuckoo


We got a treat at work today. A rehabilitation group brought out a Yellow-billed Cuckoo to release into our woods. This is one of the most endangered birds in CA., and most biologists here never get a chance to see one. They have been absent from the Prado Basin Riparian woods for many years. We suspect that an ocassional bird must pass through the area once in awhile, and its hoped this bird returns next year and meets up with one of these migrants.....we can always hope.
