In late afternoon, we had a brief storm move through. We really need a good rain, but not to be today.
Afterwards I noticed a couple warblers in our river birch: Magnolia and Nashville. When I went outside, there were quite a few robins flying around, some of which flew into the river birch.
But then I noticed a larger bird, which was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo! Nice surprise.
