NEW BIRD


Hey kids,

Just keeping you updated with my bird watching. I found another new bird for me today. It's a Black Billed Cukoo.



According to my guide books, they are fairly common but it has taken me 7 years to find one. He is decribed as being near water and likes to eat caterpillars. Well, I found him by a lake eating gypsy moths nests full of caterpillars. And his red eye was totally easy to see. I was looking down near Hanover at Lake Marburg in Corodus State Park. Very cool, huh?!

This is bird #195 and counting.......

Love ya,
Uncle Shawn
