YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO video captured by Jonah Lindquist and his description:
Here’s the phone video I was able to take, sorry it’s fuzzy. I am very sure this was a yellow-billed cuckoo because the lower mandible was distinctly yellow, you can see this in the video if you look closely near the end. Also, it was long-tailed, slender, rufous upperside and white underside. It was flying from branch to branch in thick alders. I didn’t have binocs on me, but it came within 15 feet of me while it was next to the road; I could clearly tell what it was.
Happy Birding!
