I heard a cuckoo here in Tupperville one afternoon last week.  I was 
unsure which species, and had no time to go find it. Unfortunately, it 
did not present a second opportunity for me to seek it out.  Perhaps it 
was merely visiting from Stanburne, but unlikely given the distance.

I noted today that I still have a fairly good variety of birds singing 
in the woodlot, including at least two enthusiastic red-eyed vireos, a 
black and white warbler, an eastern wood pewee, common yellowthroats 
(several), an oven bird (late nester, I am guessing), American 
goldfinches (many), and I still have some resident merlins, though they 
keep a low profile in one corner of my woodlot next to an apple 
orchard.  A veery was singing each evening until ~ 9:25 hr, but I 
believe he has stopped since Sunday evening.  I will miss listening to 
him as I prepare for bed. Until next year.  The flowering basswoods in 
the front yard have attracted many insectivores including the young 
red-starts that fledged from the woodlot.
