[mou] Yellow-billed cuckoo, Somerset WI

[Steve Weston]

Hi Karen,

I find the Yellow-billed Cuckoo to be considerably harder to find than the Black-billed, but I do find them at times at
Lebanon Hills and Miesville Ravine parks, where I suspect that they nest.  I found one on Sunday just north of the visitors'
center at Lebanon Hills in the trees adjacent to a small, small pond.  I also thought I heard an abreviated call from one
about a mile away, right near where I had seen a pair two or three years ago.
