Not sure who’s more cuckoo - us or the bird. A lifer for both of us !

Common Cuckoo vagrant in Long Island.

Per Wikipedia The cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), common cuckoo, European cuckoo or Eurasian cuckoo “is a widespread summer migrant to Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa.“ #birds #🪶

No luck with the comet for us this long weekend away due to various reasons but Venus & The Moon over the Pennsylvania farmscape are a wonderful consolation prize.

7/9/25 Cownose rays were EVERYWHERE! Cool sight to see - so close to shore & a curious crowd enjoying the moment!

Love these graceful swimmers that are generally harmless to people!
