Yellow Billed Cuckoo at Greenbury Point

I started with sunrise at Possum Point this morning, and I’m starting to think I need to be there an hour before sunrise to get the best colors. The Osprey were active, but there just aren’t as many birds as in past years.

I did a turn around the Nature Center, where I was very surprised to find the cuckoo, a bird I’ve heard there, but never seen before.

By the time I got around to the bugs, it was getting very hot, so I didn’t stay long.
