[EBB Sightings] Yellow-billed Cuckoo

  Bob Richmond's e-mails are  not going through so he asked me to pass on 
this sighting.

  Yesterday, at Hayward Shoreline, Bob found a Yellow-billed Cuckoo in the 
trees on the east side of the area known as Frank's Dump EAST.  This is not 
Frank's West where birds are usually reported.

  Frank's East is the open seasonal wetland (now dry)  immediately north of 
end  of West Winton  Ave.  where it passes under the main power transmission 
lines.  To access the trees it is best and safest to not to enter through 
the landfill gate where all the truck traffic is entering.  Rather enter 
through the main park trail gate and then work your way around (no trail) to 
the trees.  Be cognizant of the landfill capping operation and the truck 
traffic so as not to interfere with their project.
