Observation details
Started calling (full song) 6:45 pm. Still calling (mostly throaty "cop") from river (New River) across the golf course (8:25 pm) I only caught part of call on recording. I originally heard the full song coming from the mesquite-like trees that line the golf course by the tennis courts. I got a good look at the bird, brown top of head through the eye, back and wings (did not discern rufous on wing, this was seen through the leaves of tree), white breast, belly, long spotted/striped tail, yellow seen on lower mandible of long decurved bill. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo! Wow!!! It is silent now...
