After turning west onto Wilderness Road from Elyria Road and passing by the house on the corner, start looking on the right (north side) side of the road (side without telephone poles). Bird hanging out low in one of two tall black cherry trees in the middle of the field. Sits on dead limb 5 feet above ground on left tree. Spends much time out of sight catching grasshoppers. Park your car as close to the bridge as possible then walk back. Bird is wary, even though it is 100 yards from road [...]46_9Sep201313:09: [log in to unmask] |

Was surprised to find a first year Black-billed Cuckoo
in the yard this AM.
I have spent the last 20 years growing Milk Weed in the yard.
I had no Monarchs this year but do have Milk weed tussock (SP?)moth
caterpillars that the Black-billed Cuckoo was eating up a storm.
Did manage to get a few photos. He did not stay long.
I moved 3 caterpillars to another plant that he could see and the Cuckoo
flew in and ate them.
