Took advantage of the nice weather and birded Tree Tops Park this weekend. A ruby throated hummingbird caught my eye, and shortly thereafter I saw my first yellow billed cuckoo. I want to get a better vantage point and suddenly this large dark hawk dove in to catch the cuckoo but missed and circled around. It was dark all over except the bottoms of the wings and part of the tail were white and brown, the bill was yellow. Before I could get more shots some horse riders scared him off.
