I took this at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, PA on June 13th. Gotta say, I'm loving the new 500!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Michele

Jun 17, 2009 05:55 | #8 Thank you all very much for your kind comments. I've been back to the spot where I shot this several times since then to no avail. I've even learned to do a mean Cuckoo call, in hopes of calling him out. Hopefully no one will happen upon the trail as I'm calling Michele
