Subject: [Birdpics] Yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus)
Message-ID: <20070603003959.UDEW25928.aa04.charter.net@dad>
While not a rare bird, it's rare enough for me. Taken near my friend Roger's
house on Compton Mountain Va. this morning. Roger shared with that me his
dad called the bird a Rain Crow. The book titled American Ornithology; Or,
The Natural History of the Birds of the United States published in 1832
credits Virginians for nicknaming the cuckoo Rain-Crow. The Auk quarterly
journal volume VIII published in 1891 credits the natives of Bahamas with
the Rain Crow nickname.
At any rate he's a Georgous bird and a lucky find for me.

The story started when dad delivered a false or Indian strawberry.
(Duchesnea indica). The first hatchling grabbed the berry but could not
swallow it. Day reclaimed the berry and smashed it re-delivering to the
hatchling that quickly swallowed it. I learned that the berries are not
poisonous. As a child I was told the were poisonous and called snake
berries. Turns out they are tasteless and harmless.

I thought this photo taken yesterday on Compton Mountain in SW Virginia
looked very tropical. Since the Parula is a neotropical migrant I guess the
scene it is at least half tropical.

Last Shot. The father has taken the berry from the fledgling and smashed it
in his mouth so the young bird can swallow it.

I am proud of this Yellow Warbler not because it's my best photo but because
it's the first one I located in my home state of Tennessee. This one was
near Roan Mountain TN and was happy to display for me!
