[Maine-birds] YB Cuckoo

A Yellow-billed Cuckoo has been calling and teasing me all afternoon.  Every time I knelt in the garden to pull some weeds, it started again.  Finally grabbed the binoculars and stood under the large oak tree it was calling from- only to see a Blue Jay fly in and chase it out.  At least I saw it fly off!  Distinctly rufous wings and long tail- and the call is so distinctive.  New yard bird for the Maine!
