Observation details

This Common/Oriental Cuckoo was found and photographed in town by Richard 'Duck' Warner Jr., near Units 108/109. Photos are inconclusive as to species, though Common would be considered more likely. The bird was never seen again. Old World cuckoos have become significantly scarcer on the Pribilof Islands in recent years.
