I conducted a survey in several meadows adjacent to the Hike-Bike Trail at
Huntley Meadows this morning. The usual suspects were there, with evidence
of successful breeding in several species. The highlight was three
Yellow-billed Cuckoos, one being a recently fledged, but still begging
youngster near the platform at the end of the Hike-Bike Trail.
