    Yellow-billed Cuckoo

    Upper Texas Coast

    D3, 600, f14, 1/640, ISO 800.

    This was taken a few weeks ago when I counted 12 Cuckoo's that came down to my water drip in one day.

    Amazing picture of a bird that likes to hide most of the time, Alan.

    Like the compliment between the blurred BG and the in focus flowers Obviously proper exposure and detail I would wonder about slight crop from the rt and slight more room on the top, To me there is a slight sense of compression from the top

    Love it, nice to see the not just all green BG from you once a while. The OOF flowers add to it.

    Great stuff Alan, I agree about the OOF flowers in the BG being a great asset to the image. Would be nice if they were not behind the birds head/beak maybe but a minor nit.
    I too think that a tiny slice off the RHS might balance the image a little more.
    Great looking image, great looking species....well done
