EXTERNAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NEWLY HATCHED CUCKOOS (COCCYZUS AMERICANUS AND C. ERYTHROPTHALMUS)

Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) Science Article 1

abstract

This paper describes characters by which nestling Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoos can be distinguished. It is based on a small collection that I made at Bloomington, Indiana, before I discovered Herrick’s paper. The nests from which I took the birds presented no anomalies.
