A Perfect Start to the Day

 Captain Sams:

Our second day of the season was a little slower than yesterday, with a total of 27 birds, of which 11 were recaptures. We had two firsts of the season! A Yellow-Billed Cuckoo and our special catch of the day....a Chuck-Will's-Widow! A perfect way to start off the day.
