Black-billed Cuckoo, ( Coccyzus ery- 
throphthalmus.) Quite rare. Its com- 
panion, the “ Yellow-billed,” has never been 
observed here, while this Cuckoo may be 
seen (or rather heard, as he is very shy 
and not easy to approach,) in the woods or 
among the dense pine tracts. The nest is 
simply a few sticks, made like that of the 
Mourning Dove, and through which you 
can easily discern the eggs.
