Best Yellow-billed I've seen here! Beautiful setting and open beak. What a handsome bird....even if it is a sometimes a (parasitic) naughty one.;) We have mostly Black-bills here in Vermont.

Excellent capture, Gene, with the pose, open bill, and the colours of the background and perch complimenting those of the Cuckoo.

Great calling pose and complementing background colors, Gene. Neat to see one in the open.

Good eye contact and calling pose. I love the soft OOF complimentary background. A difficult bird to find in California.
