Yellow-billed Cuckoos

I came across 3 young Yellow-billed Cuckoos, most likely siblings. They were feeding along an old rice plantation wetland area, feasting on Katydids. The hurricane beat up the foliage quite a bit but I'm happy to add these to my collection. It's not often they come out in the open.
