It's time for another episode and this time, we're talking about a bird that is so often heard but not seen.  Often called rain crows, due to being heard calling before approaching storms, these birds get a bad rap as nest parasites, but our yellow billed cuckoos don't that that too often.  Join us on the backporch, along with the lightning bugs, chucks, whippoorwills, and even a screech owl stops by, all to listen and learn about the cuckoos.  I guess you can say they are also cuckoo for cuckoos!
