Very much Al and got to love that red eye. Now I have a photo for you and please, don't faint.
This is the second time seeing one of these guys in the wild and my first time photographing one. It was pretty far away so not great detail. I went to Joe Overstreet and there it was, hanging with the sandhill cranes.
