We had a rare visitor yesterday in our yard. It is a Yellow billed Cuckoo. I noticed it in the morning and grabbed a picture. A first time ever seeing one here. Later that afternoon I noticed it came back but now around on of the bubblers I made and then it went to the stream and on a few perches and rocks at the stream. It was a treat for sure.

Here is the first shot of it in the morning

Almost looks like a cross between a gray Jay and a mockingbird. Never seen one before.
