Johnd 1,771 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I see these every where, hard to get a nice shot since they move a round a LOT and like to stay in the foliage   2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fairly uncommon in my area (handful of sightings per year) but not impossible so I will make the effort this year as I would love to see one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're not super common here, either. I only started seeing them when I learned their calls. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't want to hijack the thread any further but out of responses again. Pretty distinctive call so I will watch out for sightings in the Spring and go into action. I love the photos with the spread tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floraphile 531 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I see them once or twice a week in our suburban yard and usually every time I go out to our rural property.  They are difficult to photograph well.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I don't think anyone is going to complain if someone's timing is off a bit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
