Yellow-billed Cuckoo at BRMBR

["John CAVITT" <jcavitt at weber dot edu>]

This morning at ~9am a group of us saw a Yellow-billed Cuckoo at Bear
River Migratory Bird Refuge.  The bird was along the visitors loop about
100 yards north of the observation platform.  It flew across the dike in
front of us and perched in some salt cedar on the east side of the dike.
 It stayed out in open giving us some great "looks".  This species isn't
on the 1995 refuge checklist.  Strange bird to see at the marsh!!
