** Correction to previous post enclosed in asterisks: **

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 **two years** 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...
