Many thanks to you all ... you are exactly correct in the ID of the bird I saw was a Black Billed Cuckoo. I am looking at the bird in the book I mentioned and it's a perfect match. Being I had no idea what I was seeing I went by what I saw but further research needed to be done on my part. Sorry if I may have sparked a rarity in CT. Still cool to see them breeding. Are these not timid birds since they let me get within 20 feet. Only flushed flew when I walked under them. Thanks to you experts. Kevin ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​
