We have them on our 11 acres and on adjoining parcels and only rarely see or hear them... which is odd since they are loud too

Thanks. This was the only time I ever saw them at a nest cavity, although I hear them almost daily. They're kind of hard to spot for such big birds.

One of my all time fav birds... great shots
