Strange name huh!! This one let me get up quite close and didn't seem to be bothered that I was there. Mostly active and vocal at night.

Nicely captured, the exposure, detail and colors look great. I too would like to see more of this bird.

It was the 70-200mm f4L, with the Kenko 1.4x Teleplus Pro 300 DG Teleconverter attached, on a 20D :)
