I was in Shubie Park today and got a brief look at a Cuckoo. I was kayaking
with my 3yo daughter and forgot binoculars. As a result, I didn't get a
really great look at it. It also flew away about 10sec after I spotted it.
However, the shape and size were distinctive, and my view of the shape and
size was good. I saw the bill as dark, making it a black-billed cuckoo.
However, I'm not 100% on this ID because the lighting wasn't ideal.
Black-billed is more likely at this time of year in NS, correct?

My ebird list from the visit (with some more details about the sighting):
