Close, but in my pic, the bill is longer and curves down. I've never before or since seen one of these.

What you have there is a Yellow Billed Cuckoo.
I have seen this bird here in San Antonio many years ago.

The Scotts songbird mix has nuts and dried fruits in it. The Cardinals really love that along with the sunflower seeds.

I just have to make sure that the Doves can't get to the food. They are such pigs and make a mess getting to just the Sunflower seeds.

I have found that there is a lot of diversity in this area. For a couple of years now, have been hearing them but only saw the cardinals (can't miss the bright red blur even while driving.)

I am also hearing birds that if, I am right about the sounds, they won't come to a seed feeder. I have also seem the rapid flash of the hummingbirds. Once the house is built and can keep the nectar feeders stocked and cleaned and also keep some water stocked, should start to catch a lot of other birds.

Thanks for the answer. The other rare bird I've seen but not been able to take a pic is a Pileated Wood pecker. There is a really big one that visits my neighbor's trees. I would guess he's about a foot long from head to tip of tail.
