I stopped by Harrison Lake today and was treated to a nice variety of birds. The Southern Magnolia tree is about bare of fruit, so activity is low there, the sun was hot, so I tried a different place near the front road along the canal in the shade. Though it was slow, there was a good flow of birds through there and I got a first for me...a yellow billed cuckoo!! It didn't stay around long, so I only managed a couple shots, but I got him!
