Media notes
poor quality image with cell phone showing cuckoo silhouette and setting, in tree row
Observation details
adult, not far off, gave "cu cu cu" song in response to Eastern Screech-Owl recording. I switched to the cuckoo recording and it quickly came in, perching above the recorder, which I turned off. Bird then gave soft call series (mainly 3-note series) for a couple of minutes and became quiet. It perched 10 to 15 feet up in the tree row, not moving, for at least 15 minutes till I left. I walked beneath it with my cell phone to take photos; it remained nearly motionless. Great view of mainly gray underside of long tail, red orbital ring, all black bill. Impressed me with its size, at close range.
