- Comments: "*Continuing at Dell Water, took a while to locate but eventually found it moving through the big willow, gleaning insects. Lost it while re-angling but was able to track it for a while by its occasional low staccato vocalizations, and saw it fly west into the next large tree, where I watched it creep around sluggishly foraging on berries for over a half an hour. As it ascended into the treetops, I stayed with it by going up the path on the north side of Dell and looking straight out into the tree crown. It was at times dead still in the top of the tree for minutes on end. Cuckoo with a black bill, fairly blank face with a dark eye and pale eye ring, bright white underparts, unspotted soft-brown undertail, and rufous wing coverts. Vis lifer, following several heard-onlys."
