What kind of bird is this, and what was it doing in this place in Piermont, N.Y., recently?

    It is a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I am guessing that, as a nocturnal migrant, it collided with the balcony glass door (guard rail and potted plants camouflaged ultra clean glass door [perfect reflection of chair]) and the woman (manicured nails) picked up the stunned (fortunately, not dead) bird with a towel.

    It looks like some kind of cuckoo. A look at the tail might help.
