Petit Manan Black-billed Cuckoo

[Joel and Sandy Wilcox-Fairbanks]

Yesterday c. 3:30 PM on the Hollingsworth Trail. I've heard them a couple of times on this trial, but had never seen one there.

Walking counterclockwise on the trail, it was perched in nearly the last clump of trees near the point, just after the inlet (the ones I've heard there have been in much denser cover, after you pass the shore area and move inland, past the boardwalk). A real treat at an unpromising time for birding.
