Sorry for not posting the precise area I find these birds

From Rt. 80 towards Killingworth from Rt. 79 traffic circle, and Summer Hill Rd. is about 1/2 mile.
Turn left and go 2.7 miles to a small bridge crossing a stream. Park on the right in a pull-off just off the road.
I walk north about a mile on the road and all of the birds are off the road, very little to no traffic.
The cuckoo was calling and visible just south of the bridge today, but the whole road is good for them. In the past I’ve also had Black-billed.
This year I’m puzzled by the lack of tent caterpillars, so the cuckoos are not as common.
