Yellow-billed Cuckoo

This one was pretty far away, and I've cropped it as much as I dare.

Nevertheless, you got him; well done.

Good shot. There have been some very rare sightings of this bird here...Southern California. Its on my "want it bad" list.

very good, really like the contrast of the BIF against that grass

Well spotted, rare bird.

Thanx for all the comments. The crop is the very bottom-left corner of the image, so I didn't have a lot of choices for composition. I think it does give the image some perspective and shows more of the bird's habitat than a close-crop would, so it turned out for the best.

Well done!
