Cuckoos

Beautiful morning at Nahanton Park. The surprise was this pair of Yellow-billed Cuckoos, apparently nesting along Florrie's Path. Beyond the two trees fallen across the path (and not yet cleared by the city) there is a ten foot high snag on the river side of the path, with a hole near the top (maybe a chickadee nest). The birds were in the canopy just beyond.



The bloodroot by the pond is looking great, and the ladyslippers are blooming in the usual place!

  1. How exciting!! Can't wait to look for them this weekend. Hopefully the weather isn't as miserable as it was last Sunday morning.
