Description

This image shows a Yellow-billed Cuckoo sitting on a branch at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida.

Yellow-billed Cuckoos are a species that forage slowly and methodically in treetops. These cuckoos mostly eat caterpillars and katydids, but they’ll also catch treefrogs, cicadas and grasshoppers to use as food for their young. Like other cuckoos, they have two forward-facing toes and two backward-facing toes, which is most common in birds that climb tree trunks or clamber through foliage.
