Eric, thanks for your kind words, as well as the info. I actually did some search on the web and found that it might be a Black Meadowhawk, as evidenced by the shape of the body and the black spot on each wing. The only thing I was NOT sure was the body of a Black Meadowhawk appears to be more shinny. Anyway, here is the link: Canon 1DMarkIII

Yes I think you have the correct id on it, I was looking in my book and online but your online image was a little dark but I have to agree now that your photos sure look like it, Just because I haven't seen one in our area but that doesn't mean they do not exsist
