'WOW!" is the expression many birders in Anchorage, Alaska are
currently saying while listening to a CASSIN'S VIREO earlier this
week (still singing, by the way) and just last night, a COMMON
CUCKOO! With careful observation the CASSIN'S VIREO can still be
viewed while only a lucky few have been able to get a glimpse of the
CUCKOO. This is the first documented sightings of these birds in the
Anchorage Area.

For more info. on these birds and other more typical Anchorage
sightings, you can call the Anchorage Rare Bird Report at (907)
338-BIRD.
