And another was heard in North Mountain, Kings Co yesterday as well. And there were 4 last week together at French Basin Trail, Anna Co too. Out few NS breeding Cuckoos must be on the move.

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.
