Observation details
Continuing. Rufous brown wings, gray brown upper parts, white under parts. Underside of long folded tail black with oblong white spots. Gray-brown crown subsuming eyes with faint mask. Downward-curving bill with lower yellow mandible seen through scope. First seen at NE Duckbill, cuckoo flew west and east, stopping in trees/tamarisks along the north side. Later flew to tamarisks along east Duckbill (best views). Returned to north side of Duckbill, then flew to the south side of Duckbill. At the end our visit, we observed the cuckoo fly into a favored NE Duckbill willow. Photos.
