[cobirds] Black-billed Cuckoo - Weld

I took a late morning walk through Crow Valley Campground today and found a juvenile Black-billed Cuckoo at the north edge near the fenced off "wildlife area". While I was trying to see if I had gotten a decent picture (which I did), it disappeared into thin air. This bird has eluded me in Colorado for an embarrassing number of years!

That was the highlight of a beautiful autumnal day at Crow Valley with other species of note:

    Townsend's Warbler (4+)

    Wilson's Warbler (many)

    Yellow-rumped Warbler (2)

    McGillivray's Warbler (5+)

    Orange-crowned Warbler (2)

    Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (1)

    Western Tanager (many)

    Swainson's Thrush (2+)

    Hermit Thrush

    Red-naped Sapsucker

    Eastern Phoebe
