Those Pesky Cuckoos

A failed trip looking for Cuckoos! Not every outing is fruitful, or at least you don't find the intended subject. But, it is still worth putting the time in and you never know what you might find (like stinky goats). I anticipate a few more weeks of work before I get a close cuckoo encounter, and I'll be sure to share it when it happens. For now enjoy some scenes and sounds from the hills and most importantly enjoy the goats!
