I am going to try to chase the gallinule after my 3 pm deadline today.... if birders would please continue posting updates, it would be greatly appreciated! Went upstairs to get coffee an hour ago and heard a "drunk robin" song in the yard... grabbed binos and ran out to watch the first yard appearance of rose breasted grosbeak this year, when I heard a BLACK BILLED CUCKOO that started calling nearby! I chased it around the neighboring properties, got a brief glimpse before I lost it. Played the call on my car stereo to the entire neighborhood, hoping to draw him in... no joy. A NEW YARD BIRD! Really disappointing not to get a good look, but exciting anyway! My neighbors have their own ideas about who is cuckoo around here.
