Yellow-billed Cuckoo

This was a first for me.  I have never seen one of these elegant birds. It was one of the first shots taken on a day filled with fabulous bird photography.  I still have oodles of photos to go through, and will ultimately post them on Flickr, but I so loved the light and fairly clean background of this photo - well, it just had to be my blip.  I wasn't alone when taking this, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see a few other shots of this beauty.
