Three additional BC records of Yellow-billed Cuckoos since the publication of
Birds of BC: one in July (can't find the day) 1992 in Kelowna, BC, and
another there a year later on July 27; also two photos of a dead Yellow-billed
Cuckoo in the summer of 1994 (again the date is locked away under one of several
mountains of paper in this room) which ended up in the files of the Cowan
Vertebrate Museum at UBC. Now on to tidying up...
