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.
