Saw one pair in the forest, and heard another. 76 Smaller yellow Troupial - small, pale bill, dark eye, yellow rump, belly + under tail coverts, and upper wing coverts. Same long hanging nest as before. Common in the heavy forest, in a colony. (Same as # 11) 77 Cuckoo - black, white tail tip, rufous red, rounded wings, short bill. Larger than a Scrub Jay. Seen flying across the road in the heavy forest. 78 Swift.
