Spent the morning birding the hammock at around 11:20 a.m. a bird caught my attetion when I was just about to exit the hammock I id'd it as a Cuckoo with no problem but it was slighty different from the Y.B. Cuckoos that I'm use to seeing this bird showed some buff on the throat and quite a bit more on the underbelly, there was no defining contrast of color on the wing or between the wing and upper parts, the undertail had no pronounced markings perhaps just some lighter coloring on the tips of the tail feathers, the orbital ring was present but pale, the upper mandible was dark with lower mandible being much lighter appearing somewhat grey proportionally the bill seemed slender than what I can remmember on the Yellow Bills; I welcome the opinion of true birders out there and thank you in advance; below is the list of other worthy species seen in the hammock:
Wood Thrush (lifer)
Eastern Wood Pee Wee
Great Crested Flycatcher
Blue Headed Vireo
Worm Eating Warbler
B.T. Green Warbler
B.T. Blue Warbler
B & W Warbler
Nothern Waterthrush
Palm Warbler
Prairie Warbler
N. Parula
Yellow Throated Warbler
Barred Owl (heard)
Cooper's Hawk
