Observation details
When the Black-billed Cuckoo first arrived, I mistook it for a Mourning Dove, on a bare treetop where Doves are often seen, so I didn't pay too much attention. When it flew over to the tree I was sitting near, the profile with the long tail alerted me to the fact it was NOT a dove! On the previous day, as I took pics of an approaching storm/wall cloud from Walmart's parking lot, I had captured the same silhouette unknowingly, so in retrospect, I realized that I had seen one of the 2 species already. This individual left after about 15-20 minutes and wasn't found again.
