Observation details
🍊ho s well, recorded, 11:28am : LIFER!! Ho s, prob from up in large swamp white oak tree. Courtney hollered across yard to Caleb on porch, who came running in just socks, no shoes! After some singing, Caleb prob saw it fly out of the large oak just n. of hickory at Hickory Bend, towards n/nw. — — “It’s too bad it didn’t stay in our tree, but it’s hard to get cooler than that!” “In seeing it flying away, it’s not impossible it could’ve been perched in one of those [young] ashes, too. But it really sounded like it was in the oak.” — — Yard Bird no. 133 (day 314). — — Best yard bird yet along with Connecticut Warbler and breeding American Woodcocks! and then also the breeding Veery, Ovenbird, Swamp Sparrows, Barred Owls, Blue-winged Warblers all so cool!) — — “Now, if we had a breeding cuckoo, that would be out of this world!” “Overall though, I would say a cuckoo has a similar level of cool factor to a woodcock.” “It’s like for the most part you don’t have tropical birds in temperate North America, but this is one of them.”
