Today I heard a crash and went outside to see a yellow-billed cuckoo had flown into the window and then hung on the screen. It looked like he was caught in it or was too dazed to get off. I grabbed him with a towel and put him on the chair. I waited at least 5 minutes before he finally flew off. The first time I saw these (June 26 2011 on this blog) in flight I saw a lot of rust colored wings and you can see just a hint of that here. If someone was here I would have spread his wing and got a good picture, but alas I was alone. His eyelid is closed here, he closed and opened them several times - I think he had a terrible headache...

Here he flew up in the tree so I guess he recovered OK.
