PALLID CUCKOO
I met this very curious cuckoo this morning.
I saw it sitting on some power lines out on Number Three Creek Road. I drove past and took a few pictures.
The sun was in the wrong place and I was about to leave it alone when it flew down on to a fencepost quite nearby. It was obviously watching me as much I was watching it.
These birds announce the coming spring with their early morning call. We used to call them semi-tone birds because of the rising notes of their calls.
Lying in bed, early in the Spring, the pallid cuckoos would provide us with a very gentle, alarm call
