Robin and Cuckoo

.




I stopped as I entered my driveway yesterday and shot this American Robin.  Then the Yellow-billed Cuckoo landed in the grass about 100 feet away, so I got him too.  Apparently it was a "bad day" to be a caterpillar.  Then I had to load it on the P/C to see it better, but couldn't remember the yellow ring around the eyes, and his beak looked a "little flat" to me. When in doubt, send the shot to Ric.  He gave me a "positive I.D" and the rest is history.

P.S.  If anyone else is having trouble loading shots (no response clicking image button) try clearing your internet cache -- it worked for me.
