Added a New Bird

  Although I do not have it written down, I keep a list of birds seen in my yard.  I have seen a scarlet tanager, a rose-breasted grosbeak, an indigo bunting, brown thrashers, flickers,  ruby-throated hummingbirds, and all the other common yard birds.  Today I added a yellow-billed cuckoo under less than favorable conditions.  It hit the window on the front porch. I would say that half of the birds that hit my windows fly off without too much trouble but this one looked hurt. I got the camera out.  Finally it flew off to my relief.  It left a soft broken egg behind.  I guess it was so shocked from the impact.
