Thanks Ecke. And thanks to all who had a look.
The bird has returned a couple of times. I tried to get out there with
the 400/5.6 and flash with Xtender, but he disappeared again before I
made it. I will keep trying.

That's what he look's like to me. The beak and breast coloring
match up to
pics of that beasty. I've been hearing him for a couple of days.
Finally,
Grace and I spotted him in a tree right behind the garage when we
came home
from the park. Unfortunately, I didn't have proper long glass
mounted, just
the DA* 60-250, so this is cropped to about 1/3 of frame. It was also
getting a bit dim, so I had to shoot at ISO 1600 to get any unaided
flash up
into the tree. F4.5 @ 1.320th.

Screw the tech nits, both the bird and the shot are beauties.
Enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing
