Happy new week friends... on a Tram ride provided by "Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge", we found two Black-billed Cuckoos in the back corner of their property. So fun to see! #birds #ohbirding #wildlife #naturephotography #OttawaCounty #BlackbilledCuckoo

A surprise Black-billed Cuckoo seen while kayaking the Rockaway River. I've only seen this species one other time... it did that very cuckoo thing where you've spotted it and it hunches over and just moves a little but somehow disappears completely (what is with them!?) #birds #blackbilledcuckoo
