Good written reports include all relevant field marks, including eye ring color, undertail pattern, and brief singing, and are sufficient to confirm the identification of Black-billed Cuckoo.

Darren Clark -- Accept

Though there is some confusion between the two reports. I saw the bird, and Bob's report is very good (especially since the report is based on notes he took notes that day).
