Hi All,
After watching it fly off around 5:10pm from the location where birders were on it just west of the golf course parking lot it did not return there. After some searching in hopes it would come back around we returned to the original hot spot location on Roanoke Avenue (40.9488854, -72.6878586). Arriving at 6:05 pm we pulled off to park on the west side of the road and we just happened to refind the cuckoo. It was quite near the road in the vegetation amongst the short shrubs and tomatoes/vegetables. This was at/after dusk and it didn't take long to lose the bird but pics and video were obtained. Wanted to get this message out with the latest intel for anyone trying in the near future. Big big thank you to the original finder and everyone helping with all the follow up intel!! It is very much appreciated!!
Kind Regards- Kev
