Re: black-billed cuckoos



I am delighted to hear about this!!

As I pointed out in an earlier e-mail, 1997 was the year that some
Black-billed Cuckoos oversummered on the Dare mainland, and some may have
oversummered in 1994.  (I didn't have any in 1995 or 1996.)  So maybe they
oversummer (and breed I guess) at about 3 years intervals on the Dare
mainland.

Yesterday, Jack Fennell and I made numerous stops on and near Catfish Lake
Road in the Croatan, listening for Black-billed Cuckoos (because this area
has some similarities to the Dare mainland).  However, we didn't find any.
